Freedom of movement, without disturbing. Learn it to better u [...]

Nicolas GROFFAL

Montier Photo Festival

Martine HUIN

Montier Photo Festival

Painter ... Photographer ... The Arts are mixed. I’m still attracted to the pictorial side. That’s why I turned to macro photography, which allows me to express myself freely, where emotion is an obvious... Not to mention the artistic side. I like to bring our superficial eye to admire this People of Silence, so often omitted! [...]

I later realized on a trip to Iceland, a country so different from my native Lorraine region that I cannot dissociate travel and photographic creation. There is a n [...]
