Earlier this year I spent two weeks travelling some 4000km around France, meeting farmers, entrepreneurs and les paysans who were replanting trees and hedgerows. On assignment for La Fondation Yves Rocher, the work is exhibited at this year’s La Gacilly photo festival in north-western France.
La Gacilly is a fantastic festival—Europe’s largest open-air photo festival—with a really friendly vibe. All the exhibiting photographers plant a tree in the orchard, so I’ve added my second fruit tree to the collection; a plum tree to last year’s pear.
The festival runs all summer, until the end of September, with around thirty exhibitions throughout the village, and is free to visit.
