Mariposa Hotel
It’s always good to keep your ear to the ground on new openings and hotel proprietors in your local city. The Mariposa Hotel (formerly Room Mate Lola) is under new management by two young Frenchwomen entrepreneurs. Parisian sisters, Audrey and Amelie Pignol, both studied at the Glion Institute of Higher Education in Montreux (Switzerland), one of the most prestigious hospitality management schools in the world.

London web consultancy for Azerai Hotels
As the director of a well-established internet company, Michelle Chaplow was able to use her considerable experience to help the Azerai Hotel with pre-selection of their visuals for the new Azerai website. This brand is going places, with many more hotels in the pipeline, so it’s been a privilege to work with the Azerai team launching their first hotel, throughout the process from shoot planning to image selection.

Workshop: El boom del fotolibro. La fotografia de la ultima decada a través del fotolibro. The boom in photobooks. Photography from the last decade seen through the photobook.
Eduardo D’Acosta is a natural born teacher and an avid collector of fotolibros (photobooks). This photographer’s generosity and enthusiasm for the subject meant that not only could we see highlights from iconic fotolibros from around the world, we could also delve into his personal collection, which he brought all the way from Seville to Malaga, filling the whole boot of his car!
Many collectors store their books in locked cabinets, but Eduardo’s are for passing around and sharing the visual joy of contemporary photographers.
