Photographs
Native of Reims, I have always felt in harmony with nature; I love to walk on the calcareous lawns where flowers and butterflies bloom, in peatlands or on the edge of small ponds when dragonflies sparkle with dew.
Passionate about botany and especially orchids, I used photography as a tool for identification, then the image imposed itself on me as an essential concern and eclipsed my first naturalistic approach.
I capture the moment and give way to daydreaming. By pastel tones, I try to make palpable the fragility of the flowers and their beauty; I would like to be able to make their perfume smell.
Photography is the only discipline that allows me to convey my emotions.
Exposition
My field of exploration is essentially the Champagne-Ardenne region. My good knowledge of the field allows me to find the species that I wish to highlight and participate in the inventory of its riches thanks to the knowledge acquired as self-taught, or naturalist friends. But you will also find, in this exhibition, some middle mountain flowers, which I love!
Spring flowers represent the awakening of nature. They are sources of mystery and beauty. The evolution of flowers is fascinating, because of the strategy they implement to seduce insects for their reproduction, but above all I am charmed by their colors and aesthetics!
May these few flowers move you and it will be my greatest reward.
