The “Ocean Encounters” exhibition will run at Shangri-La Hotel, Paris from 29 October to 22 November 2019 and at Shangri‑La Hotel, At The Shard, London from 30 October to 15 November 2019. In Paris, 20 large-scale photographs will be on view throughout the ground floor public areas of the palace hotel open for all guests to enjoy. In London, visitors to The Shard will be able to view 15 of Lecoeur’s photographs with five exhibited at the ground entrance to the hotel, five in the reception lobby on the 35th floor and five displayed in the Sky Lounge on the 34th floor.
The underwater photography displayed will feature manta rays, colourful surgeon fish indigenous to the Maldivian coral reef, endangered hawksbill turtles, humpback whales breeding in Mauritian waters, and many other fascinating marine encounters showcasing the diverse life of the Indian Ocean. Following the European shows, the exhibition will travel home to be exhibited at the group’s Indian Ocean resorts where the images were captured.
