Description Photographed as part of a commissioned project for a Coffee Table Book detailing the plants and history of the Latour-Marliac water-lily nursery at Temple-sur-Lot in the Lot-et-Garonne in southwest France........Les Ets Botaniques Latour-Marliac was founded in 1875 by Joseph Latour-Marliac who created the first hardy hybrid nymphaea in multiple colours. When these incredible hybrids were exhibited in Paris in 1889 they caught the attention of Claude Monet who immediately began placing orders for them for his garden at Giverny. Thus began the obsession that occupied the rest of the artist's life.

Artist Statement Peter Evans began working as a full-time freelance photographer in the UK in 1973 and although having now 'eased down a gear' he is still the 'photographer on-call' in southwest France for Associated Newspapers, London. He has been 'behind a camera' since the age of 11

Pete (as he prefers to be called) has diverse photographic experience. At one end of the scale he has photographed numerous models and beauty queens (including Miss Wales, Miss United Kingdom, Miss France, Miss Europe and Miss World) whilst, at the other, he has produced a four metre wide landscape, photographed from a two-seat aircraft using a view-camera and 7'x 5' sheet film. He has also photographed Prince Charles (as an accredited photographer) and Julie Christie (as a friend).

Pete now hosts one week photographic holidays at the home he shares with his partner Jill, an artist specialising in water-colours who takes care of the painting and drawing side of their business at www.painting-photography-france.com
