France Soir was turning 40 on Thursday. It was Monday. Joh called, and within the hour we were there, coffee and a croissant in one hand, cameras in the other. The brief was beautifully vague.

// the story

"We just want you. We trust you."

That was the whole direction. No shot list, no mood board, just a room full of history and permission to read it. By the end of the day we'd shot and edited photography and video that was the talk of the Melbourne food scene.
