Sinner is an hotel that focuses, as its name indicates, on sins. As they put it :

"Sinner is unique. A blend of religious heritage, opulent rooms and spectacular spaces. Contrasting radical lines with suggestive curves, and a feeling of unpolished luxury with the most enticing atmospheres. Remaining true to his signature, interior designer Tristan Auer leaves trends behind and surprises even in the tiniest details. From the electric relaxation of the restaurant to rooms inspired by ecclesiastical quarters, and from dark hallways illuminated by lanterns to the concept store in the crypt. The attention to detail continues in the mysterious spa, inspired by Roman baths. Like a well-kept secret, hidden behind a heavy door, it invites you to step into a private, secret half-light, and only borrows the aromas of a forbidden scent from the monastic atmosphere. And, throughout the hotel, stained-glass windows and a mystical soundtrack stand out against the opulent texture of velvet, drapery, and mirrors. Sinner marks a new chapter in the life of Paris, liberated from all the old standards."

They had their opening party in September 2019 and I was in charge of filming and doing the aftermovie. The hotel's unique DNA allowed me to go for a very dark atmosphere which I love. Everything was shot by myself, with a sony a7III and a Zhiyun Crane 3.

⚠️ Unfortunately this edit was not approved by the client who chose a different version. I’m still in love with it.
