3 years work - a portrait of the yacht CNB 100 "Chrisco"

[Nicolas Claris]

Last thursday, exactly 3 years after the beginning, we have shot (Romain in video and I with stills).
This is the end of an assignement made by both the owner and the boatyard to follow the construction of a 100 feet (30 meters) sailing yacht, designed by Luca Brenta for naval architecture and Wetzels Brown for interiors.
She was built to the highest standard by CNB in Bordeaux.
The purpose of the photoshoot is to print a photobook (80 pages, leather hard cover, 14inches wide X 20 inches high) not for sale! The concept being not pedagogical but catching the right and "strong" moments… (same in video).
Hence the choice of posting here, in this thread, it is an architectural and industrial job…

I have post already here and there shots made earlier…

Please, please do not pick-up photos and repost anywhere else on the net, also no edit. Thank you.

Hi Fahim

Bonjour Nicolas,

Of course we already knew the very high standards of your photography, but you seem to have gotten even better; this is excellent work! I am amazed, truly. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Cheers,
