La nuit en Sologne

Amateur photographer, born in Normandy in 1958. I have always been attracted to Nature and animals. The passion for photography seduced me from a very young age with the desire to bring back photos of my animal observations. I bought my first camera when I came back from the army in 1979, a Pentax K1000 and a 300 mm Tamron lens. Then I joined a photo club and learned the portrait in the studio but especially lighting and flash management. I practice the blind, the approach or the billebaude with the same passion. For 5 years, I have been using photographic trapping, a technique that I think I can master and that I can debate with the public with pleasure. As a child, I made (non-destructive) traps to catch rodents and observe them. As today, I was often empty but what joy when the trap worked, when finally there is an exploitable photo!!! Wildlife photography is for me an incessant quest, allowing me to mingle with the wild nature, wait, listen, feel. On the lookout, expectations are long, often uncomfortable, but what a pleasure to be able to trigger in a beautiful and soft morning light. My images are a way to share these privileged moments, to make this world known to our children, to whom we owe the legacy of this earth. I hope that everyone will become aware of the importance of this beautiful and fragile Nature, and also of the biodiversity that makes it up, as an integral part of the chain, of our chain. The harmful impact of humans on these environments, such as deforestation or pollution, inflicts irreversible injury on them
