Photographs
A biologist by training, research is my profession and photography has been my passion since childhood. Naturally, during my studies, I took an interest in macrophotography, which became my specialty. My professional journey then led me to document my work on venoms to illustrate conferences and publications. I have also had the opportunity to travel around the world and organize numerous expeditions, during which I was able to fully express my passion for nature photography and later for videography
I also document the biodiversity that surrounds me daily, and I join scientific expeditions to document them. I am a macro photography ambassador for IRIX lenses, and my images have been published and featured in numerous exhibitions
Exposition
The exhibition “Borneo Nights” showcases the biodiversity of Borneo’s primary rainforest, photographed at night, and reveals the hidden side of this world.
The images, captured during several trips and expeditions to Malaysia and Brunei, illustrate the nocturnal life of the tropical rainforest and the extraordinary life forms that inhabit it, revealing their details, shapes, and colors through macrophotography and flash lighting.
This abundance of life—often unsuspected and likely not yet fully explored—is under great threat due to the ongoing destruction of the habitat. These images therefore carry a message of conservation, highlighting the need to protect this environment and its species, whose beauty is matched only by their fragility
