Aerial
My passion for nature does not leave me impervious to the technology involved.
Aerial photography is a real pleasure.
Through my photographs, I try to demonstrate the full potential of the cameras and their aesthetic while honouring the work of the men and women that designed them or operate them.
Landscapes
The Earth is diverse and changing; is it also unique? Whatever the case may be, it often reveals scenes of striking beauty to those who know how to look; a beauty that our photos can struggle to fully convey.
Natural landscape photography requires attention to the full extent of the beauty that we are privileged to witness - I endeavour to capture this honour.
Wildlife & fauna
Whether they be feathered, carrying a shell, covered by fur or by carapace, vertebrate or otherwise, the species of the animal kingdom are fascinating in their diversity. From the smallest to the largest specimen, photography helps to capture rare and unique situations, allowing us to better understand, learn and share.
Urban & rural landscapes
From the hut to the largest city buildings, human made structures vibrates of their own beauty.
In this field of photography, I do not limit myself, thus, a ruin lost in a stony desert can have as much interest as a modern architectural building. Only the aesthetic and/or the emotion of the image count and in this sense, natural environment and light are often the key.
Human being
Nothing could affect an expression, complicity or emotion. Our portraits and attitudes are to be seized everywhere. A face, a smile or a glance will mark us more often than anything else .
Misc.
Some pictures correspond to nothing, I mean they are the result of a moment you were there with your camera and the scene was striking.
Sometimes this leads to the realization of a report. Other photographies are for informative purposes such as pictures of objects in studio, etc.
The whole is assembled here in a category for the least varied.
