title
The Diamond of Grise Fiord in 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
Grise Fiord is the most northern Hamlet in north america. The 135 habitants are reliying very much on each other as they loose the sun in november and gain it back in February. Located in the south of the village at a 1 1/2 hours walk was this magnificiant iceberg. In late spring the light is 24 hours and the instance of light carve the surfaces and transform the entrapped water within the iceberg.about the photographer
