Purity
Recently, in 2022, I lived for a month in a tepee with Mongolian nomads called Tsaatan, who are reindeer herders. It was one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had, and I have a boundless gratitude for this incredibly warm and hospitable people, whose culture is so rich and unknown.

In winter 2019, during a solitary 50-day trip to an isolated wooden cabin in Finnmark (Norway), lost in the white wilderness with a full moon…about the photographer
I am a French photographer who travels the world looking for adventures and rich encounters. As an engineer living in Paris, nothing predicted me to like roaming in the wilderness. I've undertaken some great expeditions, such as in the 2018 summer when I travelled from the extreme north of Sweden to Norway, 30 days alone, on foot, and in autonomy, or in 2019 where I spent a winter alone in a wooden hut, 400 kilometres above the Arctic Circle.Recently, in 2022, I lived for a month in a tepee with Mongolian nomads called Tsaatan, who are reindeer herders. It was one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had, and I have a boundless gratitude for this incredibly warm and hospitable people, whose culture is so rich and unknown.
