The Limestone Studio
The Limestone Studio is a dedicated space for analogue photography, designed to support both artistic exploration and hands-on learning. Set across two floors, it features a fully equipped 25-square-metre darkroom on the ground floor—ideal for traditional processes such as wet plate collodion, salt printing, and other historical techniques. Upstairs, the 60-square-metre studio space offers abundant natural light alongside a full professional flash setup, making it a flexible environment for both natural and controlled lighting. Together, the two spaces provide a quiet, inspiring setting where photography can be explored in depth—from exposure to final print.

Photography Studio
Our fully equipped photography studio offers a versatile and inspiring environment for creative work. It’s fitted with professional Broncolor flash lighting, a wide range of light modifiers, backdrops, and all the essential studio accessories. The space supports both digital and analogue workflows, and is especially well-suited to historical and alternative processes. We have a unique collection of vintage cameras—from a 19"x19" mammoth plate camera to 10x12, 8x10, 4x5, and medium format 6x7cm—allowing for a hands-on, immersive approach to large-format image-making.

Darkroom
Our ground-floor darkroom is purpose-built for alternative and traditional analogue processes. It features a professional-sized sink, excellent ventilation, and generous workspace, making it ideal for everything from wet plate collodion and salt printing to silver gelatin printing. The darkroom includes 4x5" and 6x7cm enlargers set up for split-grade printing, as well as a UV light source and vacuum table for contact-based processes such as platinum and photopolymer printing. It’s a well-equipped, focused space for serious photographic work and creative exploration.
The Limestone Studio
Tucked into the rolling hills of the Dordogne — a region known as the Valley of a Thousand Châteaux — The Limestone Studio is both a working practice and the culmination of a life spent in photography.
Surrounded by quiet lanes, sunflower fields, and a pace of life that still respects the seasons, it offers a rare space to slow down and reconnect with the craft.
Once an old stone barn at the edge of a rural hamlet, the studio has been carefully rebuilt by hand, beam by beam and frame by frame, into a place where photography lives in its purest form. Here, analogue and alternative processes are not only preserved but practiced — from wet plate collodion and salt printing to photopolymer gravure, darkroom silver prints and digital capture when needed. With a 60m² studio upstairs, a fully equipped darkroom below, and a collection of cameras that span centuries, The Limestone Studio is more than just a space — it’s a statement of intent. A quiet dedication to process, to beauty, and to the idea that how we make things still matters.
The Studio
Once filled with hay and the slow rhythm of livestock, the upper floor of this old barn has been reimagined as a working photographic studio.
We laid the floor, wired the lights, and carefully equipped it with everything from Broncolor flash systems and vintage canvas backdrops to classic wooden cameras and modern gear like the Mamiya RZ67, Fuji 6x17, Alpa digital, and a full range of 35mm systems. It’s a space where past and present coexist — where timeless tools and contemporary vision come together under one roof.
The Darkroom
Once a quiet shelter for cows, this old barn has been lovingly transformed into a fully equipped darkroom.
Now place where light and shadow now tell stories instead of livestock. I carried out the conversion myself, preserving the character of the space while shaping it into a sanctuary for analogue and alternative photographic processes. A short film on the site captures its journey, from weathered beams and stone floors to the heart of a working artist’s studio — a space where history, craft, and creativity now meet.
