1. When and How did you start photographing architecture?
I started photographing architecture and cities when I was very young, I have been passionate about photography since I was 12, but I did not think it could be a full-time job. It was for me something unaccessible and only opened to a few famous artists.

Architectural photographer Stéphane Chalmeau shared with us this student housing in Cenon, Bordeaux designed by French architects Lanoire & Courrian last year, with a regular display of different windows that blends in a great way with the surrounding buildings.
Stéphane Chalmeau shared with us this bricked housing building in downtown Paris, France designed by Brenac + Gonzalez Atelier d’Architecture. It shows two different volumes, merging with both, the red roofs of the low height houses and the white volumes of the housing buildings next to it, demonstrating a great respect for the context.
Photographer Stéphane Chalmeau shares with us another building located in France, a small command post in Saint Samson by Bruno Pourveer.

French Photographer Stéphane Chalmeau shared with us “Manny”, a project by Tétrarc.
The building is located in Nantes, France, in a creative arts district behind the Courthouse. The project is an initiative by the Coupechoux Design Group in partnership with Nantes developer Axel Colin, and will provide a space for architecture and creative arts businesses, while open to the city and the neighborhood trough a public showroom on the ground floor, hosting exhibits, conferences and other events
The chaotic aluminium skin protects the interior by filtering the direct sunlight, creating a dynamic facade that changes during the day with different reflections.
