Occultus Creatures
These photos are a part of portraits in my "Occultus Creatures" series. They are created with plants photographed in different gardens in Brittany (France), such as the Botanical Garden of Brest or the Exotic Garden of Roscoff. After some manipulations, these vegetables are transformed into imaginary and mysterious creatures (with imaginary names too) : they become Photographically Modified Organisms (PMO) .

entry description
Once upon a time, some plants were tired of seeing the same scenery : they dreamed of going to see if the grass is greener elsewhere… But how to do that when you are literally planted on the spot, with your roots deep in the ground ? They had to metamorphose to become new independent entities, able to move!These photos are a part of portraits in my "Occultus Creatures" series.

about the photographer
I’m from Brittany (France), living by the sea. I’m especially fascinated by the small details of the natural scenery that surrounds me, these little things that we don’t always see at first glance and that disappear very quickly, the time of a wink. I’m fascinated by these fleeting and ephemeral moments that are offered to us by Nature. I capture them before they disappear. I then intervene on these ”snapshots” to better appropriate them, to add my sensations and emotions, to tell a story. Nature is an artist and I try to capture her creations, and add my personal touch.back to gallery
