PHOTO REPORTAGE, FOOD ARTISANS
Mamie
From bakehouse to counter: a reportage on the gestures, bread and people who bring Mamie to life. With Guillaume Frayssinet, craft has a face.
Let’s talk about your project ↗Bread, and everything it tells us
Telling Mamie’s story means looking at what happens before a loaf reaches the counter. Flour in the air, hands at work and bakery tools reveal a living craft. The series follows this thread, then moves closer to Guillaume Frayssinet and the team.
For a bakery, the story can combine texture and preparation. Explore the advice on photographing bread’s crust and crumb and giving close-up textures a place.
In this reportage I brought together gestures, products and people. Their scales respond to one another: a texture detail, a working scene, a portrait. Together, they present a house through what it makes and the people who bring it to life.
MAMIE, THE STORY
A face behind the craft
A photo story at the pace of the bakery: the work, Guillaume and the spirit of Mamie.
01 / MAMIE, IN THE BAKERY
It begins with the hands
Flour in the air, dough and hands at work. Inside the bakery, telling the story of life before the loaf.
02 / MAMIE, THE PORTRAIT
Guillaume Frayssinet
A loaf in his hands, a smile at the counter. Photographing Guillaume also means putting a face to the world of Mamie.
03 / MAMIE, THE TEAM SPIRIT
One team. One house
Different personalities, an easy rapport and the pleasure of making things together. The story continues from the bakery to the shop.
The story continues
From movement to portrait
In the bakehouse, movement is part of the image. Flour in the air, dough and hands give the work in progress its place. At the counter, Guillaume’s portrait with his bread continues the story: product and person meet in the same photograph.
The portrait with the baker’s peel and the team images complete the series. They show other presences and attitudes, moving from making to welcoming. Photographs of the bags finally connect the bread to Mamie’s visual identity.
One series, several ways to tell the story
Alternating gesture, product, portrait and identity offers several ways into the reportage. It can present the place as a whole or focus on one image to talk about a loaf, a person or a moment of making. Channels and distribution rights are defined for each project.
