Forest ranger and amateur photographer, Franck Renard works in the forest and returns there for his pleasure, to make pictures. The Hautes-Fagnes, a nature reserve located on the high plateau of the eastern part of the province of Liège, Belgium, is a mini Scandinavia that he particularly likes. He likes to walk tirelessly the same peaty paths and the sinuous grating. The gloom of the climate and [...]

Corentin MARTINE
A 42-year-old photographer, I came to photography about fifteen years ago. Over time, while I was mainly documenting my daily life, practice and experiences allowed me to realize the range of this medium. Photographing cityscapes, landscapes, nature, at nighttime... I'm experimenting different fields, and during the last few years I went into Astrophotography. [...]
FESTIVAL PARENTHESE NATURE
Parenthèse Nature is the idea of three photographers, Olivier Henrion, Rachel Marchal-Kany and Rahima Hadid-Gounant. They all share the same vision: that of a nature that constantly amazes them and that they want to preserve for themselves and their children. And they are convinced that the image is a wonderful vehicle for raising awareness of this cause. Through their photographs, they col [...]

Patrick ANTZAMIDAKIS
I have been passionate about macro photography since my beginning, with a preference for butterflies, dragonflies, and insects. An amazing way to discover the "tiny" world around us, which still surprises and fascinates me. I evolved towards wildlife photography in 2000, thanks to a passionate friend. We quickly developed a "Nature Workshop" and transmitted this "Nice Virus" to about twenty photog [...]
Jean-Philippe et Leopold BOUVERET
Two pairs of eyes, a common passion with the same dream : share the beauty of nature, so fragile, that surrounds us and disappears day after day. Through our photos we hope to bear witness to the precious moments that the wilderness can offer us. To offer a glimpse without revealing it all. Each trip is an opportunity to confront the vastness of elements, to immerse yourself in the living world, a [...]

Max MEROTH
I am lucky enough to have grown up in the Haute Savoie, near the mountains and beautiful forests. So I have always enjoyed walking in the woods, mountains, fields and wetlands. When I received my first camera on my birthday, I quickly wanted to take pictures first of the landscapes, then of the animals I saw during my walks. One thing led to another, and beautiful encounters became photos. Badgers [...]

Sébastien BLOMME
I have been practicing photography as an amateur since 2010. Born in 1981 in the North of France, I have since migrated to the South and more precisely to Toulouse where I discover with joy the diversity of the local flora and fauna. Through my photographs, I try to highlight my close environment in order to show it to as many people as possible and thus raise awareness on the beauties that are on [...]
Didier ROBERT
I took up nature photography again thanks to my partner Annick, a few years ago. Being a scientist by training, at first my approach was rather naturalistic. However, over the years, I began to integrate a more creative and aesthetic vision into my images, initially with a predilection for macro photography. But, the long and rigorous winters of Lorraine pond, I undertook to photograph the many wa [...]
Bart VERCRUYSSE
Bart Vercruysse is an independent Belgian nature photographer. During a visit to the Azores island of Pico in 2012, he got fascinated by the nocturnal activity in a colony of Cory’s Shearwaters (Calonectris borealis). Would it be possible to photograph these birds in flight at night when visiting their colonies ? It took years of development and quite a bit of help from friends, before he succee [...]
Elisabeth GAILLARD
Native of the Reims region, I have always felt in harmony with nature. I llike the silence of the forest, feeling the humus, hearing the song of a bird, the mocking cry of the woodpecker, the rustling of the leaves under the caress of the wind, sneaking across a deer or wild boar, finally simply feeling the life that surrounds me. I like walking on limestone lawns where flowers and butterflies blo [...]
Claudine et Denis LIONNET
For about ten years we traveled the Sahara, prehistory and rock paintings lovers, fascinated by nomadic cultures. Geopolitics today limit travel in this region, we have turned to the Nordic countries, but always looking for large expanses of wilderness and extreme weather conditions. We are now passionate about wildlife in the North, between the Finnish Taiga and the shores of the Barents Sea …. [...]

The paternal initiation, the council of Elders met at the Ciné photo Club Nivernais of which he is a member until 2004, and his own life experience have pushed him towards a fascination with nature that he tries to magnify and share through his intimate, even minimalist images. With one foot underground and the [...]

Biography Jean-François Mutzig His vocation began in Lille where he was born in 1962.

He works with his hands to underline a shape or to model the softne [...]
Fabien GREBAN
When I started wildlife photography in 2005, it immediately became obvious: I have found my place! It is in the heart of Wild Nature that I need to live. As much photographer as naturalist, I chose to devote my activity to the enhancement of Nature, around my home in the Jura massif. This proximity allows me to follow my subjects on a daily basis and try to decode their behavior, their way of life [...]
