I absolutely loved photographing this week-long Cannes Lions 2025 event for COLLINS House, and it was unreal documenting the panels, candid moments, and the atmosphere inside a stunning 1865 château overlooking the sea, in partnership with VAST.
COLLINS are also a 7x Agency of the Year winner, which made it even more exciting to be on the ground capturing work at that level.

 

The programming ran like a mini-festival with daily talks followed by sunset performances, so every day had a fresh rhythm and a new set of stories to capture. It was genuinely special meeting so many brilliant people in one place, with guests connected to the House including Will.i.am, Taika Waititi, Josh Duhamel, Sir John Hegarty, Cindy Gallop, Scott Galloway, Liz Taylor (Ogilvy), David Ohana from the UN, Gap CEO Richard Dickson and so many more.

 

Between the conversations, the garden moments, and the constant creative energy, it felt like the kind of shoot you do not forget, fast-paced, inspiring, and full of detail.​

Brian Collins and the entire COLLINS team were genuinely incredible to work with at Cannes Lions, and it meant a lot to feel so appreciated all week, especially being trusted to bring my individual style, take the lead, and capture the story in my own way.
