France: Cider Making in Normandy

"Laurent Delaporte, of Emmanville near Rouen, France has always made cider with his grandfather’s wooden press. He uses special apples from his father’s small farm and also from some land he owns nearby."

Examining this old method of making cider where the apples are crushed slowly is the subject of Andrew Wheeler's photography story, France: Cider Making in Normandy, now appearing on Gaia Photos, an Internet photography portal comprised of 39 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.

Initially, Mr. Wheeler traveled all over the world completing personal projects and assignments. Today Andrew says, "I try to focus more on the local stories I'm interested that include craftsmen, entrepreneurs, unusual people and farmers who work the land in a respectful way."

He has undertaken corporate assignments for companies and organizations such as HSBC, UNESCO, OECD and Nokia. Editorial clients include Bloomberg News, Globus Weekly and Insight Guides.

Andrew Wheeler is represented by Photoshot.
Currently he lives and works as a freelance photojournalist and photographer while based in Paris and Normandy France and is available for assignments.
