Pastel Marseille

The latest project by photographer Kane Hulse elucidates on Marseille’s life through reflections on form and colour, capturing the city’s recondite beauty within the context of architecture. It is a graphic and pastel vision of a sun doused location on the southern coast of France.

The photographs open up the Provencal capital for a candid insight with images of candy pink buildings set against creme figures and emerald backgrounds alongside precisely composed takes of stone grey homes, alluring to the romance of Marseille’s optical charm. Hulse takes the viewer on a loosely abstract tour of the city, depicting segments of urban spaces.
