Frédéric Demeuse belgium
title
Icelandic clichés
Places: Hvitserkur rock - Kirkjufell mountain - Hraunfossar waterfall - Reynisfjara beach - Black beach and ice diamonds near Vik
Frédéric is a naturalist, environmentalist, ethologist and ornithologist (Nord-Trøndelag University College, Norway) and award-winnig photographer from Brussels, Belgium.
His photos are the expression of his unquenchable desire : to testify, to remember, and to enjoy, every one of his encounters with Nature's diversity, with its fragility and its strength.
These images, combinations of living dreams and pure curiosity, give hope that mankind will never forget that our relationship with the biosphere is the most valuable element of our being.
As an avid naturalist he likes to spend as much time as possible outdoors. This principle of immersion in the natural world is the key ingredient to convey the magic of Nature, absorbing its many moods and revealing its secret wonders.
The raison d'être of these photos has been to extract the beauty of our common essence from the chaos of this world. They propose a view of Nature which amazes by its appearance - often idealized, sometimes timeless when he Works in black and white.
His commitment is not only a tribute to the Nature's grandeur, but also a wake-up call for everything that we stand to lose; a call for better understanding and a greater sense of our common responsibility towards the natural world which deserves, more than ever, the greatest care and attention.
His pictures are included in several collections. They have been the object of personal shows in galleries, published in books, in calendars, in magazines and various other publications, worldwide.
