Photographs
It was a bit by chance that my love affair with photography was born.
At the beginning of a visitor to the Natur’Images Festival, I decided to get involved in the association in 2017 and met photographers and here I am embarking on a beautiful adventure where passion and thirst for learning are mixed!
Combining artistic and educational projects, my photos aim to raise awareness of the biodiversity that populates our cities, gardens and countryside as well as the need to preserve it.
I devote 80% of my work to a pollinating insect, the black bee (Apis mellifera)
I learn every day with them, coded messages, dances…
Without them, 40% of the plant-based foods we eat would not exist.
This shows how precious they are.
Exposition
“Precious Bees”, is a selection of images of our Apis mellifera domesticated since ancient times.
The exhibition traces part of the daily and seasonal rhythm of this insect to the way of life in society. This presentation aims to raise public awareness of its beauty and participate in a modest way in its protection.
These photos, taken in proximity, reflect some moments of immersion in the life of our bees.
