entry description
I was during a year leaving in the french scientific station of Dumont d'Urville as a biologist. My work was to monitor all the species that reproduce here in Adélie land. Most of my time I was outside, lokking at the animals. From staying 14 months, I was able to see the whole biologic cycle for all this species. The time also to be impregnate with the special ambiance of this stuning place. I spent hour observing the animals, the weather, the landscape. That allow me to improve my photography skills by being part of the place. Such a incredible chance, I feel lucky and grateful for this experience of a life !about the photographer
Biologist I loved to use photography to share about the animals and the landscapes around us. I spend a year living in Antarctica to work on the emperor penguins and other species. Being there, in this amazing place leave me the time and the energy to improve my skills in photography. I spend hours, staying outside in different conditions to be permeate of the ambiance.back to gallery
