knowledge
Driven by a passion for wildlife, I immerse myself in the mysteries of nature, capturing every moment with meticulous attention. This project, carried out with ASPAS (french association for the protection for wild animals ), explores the vital role of carcasses in the ecosystem, revealing their often overlooked importance. Drawing on my experience, I venture into the heart of the most remote habitats to bear witness to this essential symbiosis. Through my images, I wish to raise awareness of the beauty and complexity of natural interactions, offering a deeply enriching look at the world around us.
Europe's rarest bird of prey
Immersed in the majestic valleys of my region, my passion for the bearded vulture blossoms day by day. As a keen observer of these iconic creatures, I dedicate my art to capturing their grace and power in their natural habitats. Thanks to my passionate commitment, my captivating images of these magnificent raptors are now broadcast on major television channels, sharing the wonder of the wild with a wider audience.
In the crystal clear rivers of my mountain valley, I discreetly camouflage myself to capture the fascinating images of the dipper. Like a silent ghost, I immerse myself in its habitat, blending into the background to capture its graceful and agile movements. Armed with patience and expertise, I choose the perfect angles to reveal the beauty of this aquatic bird in its natural environment. Each captured moment becomes an open window on the secret and astonishing life that unfolds beneath the surface of the tumultuous waters.
