Michelle Vollemaere, BACH251 (ADVERTISING & FASHION 2025)

BACH251 is a beachfront holiday rental property on Raumati Beach. I stayed there twice before the owner invited me back to photograph it "officially" for promotional materials for the various holiday rental platforms he uses. The curation of beachy and blue in the little touches on the mantelpiece left by previous guests - the hand-painted flotsam, the vase of driftwood sticks, and the display of collected shells complementing the painting by a local artist make this my favourite of all the shots I took.
