Photographs

My adventure, in animal photography, began in 2009, following a wonderful birthday gift. After a stay in the south of France, I’ve since lived in Lorraine. A naturalist in my observations and approach to animals, I embrace an artistic, even dreamlike, photographic style. Macro-Proximity captures all the elements that are dear to my heart: nature, observation, and creative potential.
In 2022, I turned my passion into my career. Proximity and macro photography were only a small part of my activity. Today, I’m involved in medium- and long-term projects such as training, hosting conferences, and publishing thematic books on nature and wildlife photography.

Exposition

2025 6 | Salle Saint-Berchaire

This exhibition, specifically dedicated to macro/proxi photography, is an opportunity to democratize close-up photography from a resolutely artistic perspective. The photographs in this exhibition, with their striking colors, retrace almost 10 years of photography taken in the South of France and the Grand Est region.

I offer a visual experience centered around three characteristics:

100% of this exhibition is in panoramic vertical format.

This exhibition addresses, with a refined and slightly dreamlike style, numerous subjects related to macro/proxi photography. I thus demonstrate that it is possible to photograph relatively common subjects artistically.

All the prints in this exhibition are organized by species and color dominants.
