Photographs

We are two brothers, two solitaries together, Julien and Clément PAPPALARDO, some even like to call us “The brothers of the woods”.
Nature, the riches it reveals, has always fascinated us. Since our youngest age, she has been able t o amaze us and develop our imagination.

Our first images, these first palpable memories, indisputable proof of our adventures and our wild encounters, helped to create these passions, sometimes devouring, for biodiversity and for photography.

An exciting follow-up, which after a few years is transformed into a photographic follow-up with the discovery of the lardoir of the birds in front of which we installed our hide. After all these years, we no longer count the hours spent on the brink. From mating to the flight of the chicks, our days of photographic hide remain unforgettable memories in our memories…
