As General Manager of the Hotel de Paris Odessa — MGallery by Sofitel I had the privilege to cooperate with Mr. Sergei Chyrkov, photographer and owner of CHYRKOV Studio in July-August 2017. Mr. Chyrkov is an exceptionally creative and talented individual who was an absolute dream to work with. <br>We enjoy working with Sergei as he has demonstrated an excellent combination of reliability, creativity and professionalism. Hotel de Paris is the first international brand hotel in Odessa, a part of Accor hotels and even the first MGallery hotel in the whole CIS countries, Ukraine and Georgia. It is located in a historical building in the very heart of Odessa, designed by French interior designer Ana Moussinet. Sergei was invited for the hotel photo shooting according to the very stringent Accor Photography guidelines and he has provided us with excellent results. The task was to shoot all main room categories, restaurant, bar, SPA area and building facade in order to show the hotel’s luxurious atmosphere and unique environment. The photo-shoot was carried out professionally with high level professional equipment. Also I’d like to mention that by the end all necessary photographs were retouched taking into account all high industry standards. We have decided to use all of his shots for our promotional materials as well as brand and local property websites, social media, external and internal advertising materials. <br>I have no hesitation in recommending Sergei Chyrkov for any future work with any international brand hotels of note. His personality and open minded attitude in addition to his art and technical skill as a photographer are high qualities and appreciated by the Hotel de Paris Odessa team.
