Brief: Cartier collection inspires hazy, romantic ‘Renoir’s Garden’ photography
BY LESLIE JORDAN CLARY
Fashion and glamour photographer Jamie Beck of Ann Street Studio in New York has created a series of sensually lush photographs, Renoir’s Garden, inspired by Cartier’s Étourdissant collection. Partner cinemagrapher Kevin Burg has added animation to the centerpiece photo. Each image showcases one of Cartier’s high jewelry pieces worn by a model in a vibrant garden setting reminiscent of the Côte d’Azur and French Riviera that inspired the collection. The colorful photo narrative is based on Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s paintings and includes a natural background of fresh flowers and plants.
