In 2005, the Hôtels Paris Rive Gauche group initiated its photo project "A hotel photo, an artist's view" with the aim of supporting the arts and contemporary photography.
The project is based on a simple concept: one photographer, one single photo and one piece of text inspired by one night spent at one of the hotels.
Initially shown only in our online gallery, the Hôtels Paris Rive Gauche group soon realised that they would like to expand and explore the project with an exhibition and a prize.
And so, in 2007, the first "A hotel photo, an artist's view" photo prize saw the light of day.
Every year a jury of industry professional award 3,000 euros to the best photographer.
And the winners are :
Graziella Antonioni - 2011 Guillaume Amat -2010
Evangelia Kranioti - 2009
Benoît Grimalt - 2008
Frédéric Delangle - 2007
