title
An aerial view of The village of Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada.
Through his photographic signature, Michel Thibert invites the viewer to experience, with him, areas that one may otherwise never see. His use of vanishing points allows us to ‘enter’ nature, not physically but emotionally. This pushes us to go further in a shared perspective. Michel’s work will carry you in a tumult of: impressions, fields, mountains, rivers and clouds. He strives to find, feel and capture the essence of the products of creation. Also, motivating us as the viewers to recreate our own paths of discovery. Perhaps Michel’s images will help your journey and fill your environments with some of ‘The Beauty Rediscovered’.
Michel started taking photos at the age of 15, perfecting the techniques while developing an eye for framing and the management of light. By 1973, he had already worked professionally for over five years in the field of communications and video production (commercial and series). Thereafter, for the following thirty-five years, he worked in business development.
Now at 57 years old, he works as a pilot in command between Quebec City and the Canadian Arctic. Photography has always captured Michel’s attention and is becoming his preferred way to communicate his vision of the world. This is a shared experience with the people Michel meets and the landscape that inspires his art. He first perfected the techniques and personal style directly from the cockpit, sometimes using panoramic views in relation to the magnitude of the scene. One of his intentions is to take the standard aerial view people are accustomed and give it an aesthetic created with intent, something more, that moves it away from being just a documentation of the area.
Viewed from the Cockpit, not always! But, always looked at with a Geo-Poetic Spirit.

entry description
As a pilot in command of a Pc-12 airplane, I was able to capture this scene to represent the village of Pond Inlet in Nunavut Canada. Years after years a new iceberg is stuck by the decreasing depth in front of the village. It stays all winter, just to be released by high tides and strong spring winds on the coming year.about the photographer
