An American in Provence

- Reviews -

"Jamie' s transporting book brings back all the wonderful memories of my first trip to France in my twenties, when I fell in love with the beauty of the country, and especially the vibrant flavors of the Provencal table. " -Alice Waters "Jamie Beck is the Peter Mayle of our time. Her alluring and sensual portraits bring us one step closer to understanding the ineffable magic of the South of France. From flower markets to aioli recipes, her keen photographic eye and gentle soul bring back vivid memories of my childhood in Aix-en-Provence and invite us all to slow down and indulge our senses in the warm glow of the Provencal sun. " -Frederic Fekkai "Jamie' s work is a visual feast of food, flowers, and family. Her book takes you on a trip to Provence and allows you to linger and luxuriate there with her as she basks in nature and the best that life has to offer-simple, wholesome goodness. " -Lauren Bush Lauren "Jamie captures the charm and romance of Provence in her stunning book, filled with lush photos of food, wine, and other glories of la France. An American in Provence is a woman' s journey of immersion in the country and culture of France, from the fragrant fields of lavender to the crusty bounty of her local boulangerie. " -David Lebovitz

By twenty-eight, she opened her own commercial photographic studio in lower Manhattan. Jamie has shot campaigns and editorials for some of the world' s most famous brands, including Chanel, Donna Karan, Nike, Oscar de la Renta, Google, Samsung, and Microsoft. Her work has appeared under the mastheads of Vogue and Harper' s Bazaar, on Netflix, and in digital ad displays for Disney. She has been commissioned by luxury brands such as Chopard, Cartier, and Volvo and has twice been named by Adweek magazine as one of the industry' s top 100 creatives, with numerous features written about her body of work in Communication Arts, WWD, and Time.

In 2016, she took what was to be a one-year sabbatical to create a personal body of work in the South of France, which changed the entire course of her life, one that blossomed into a career as an art photographer and delivered her a French-born baby girl named Eloise.
