The Crowned Spirit of the Hidden Glade
I created that fine art photograph in the deep woods of Charente-Maritime during the fall and at the peak of the rut of the deer. It was a beautiful and quiet morning. Everything around was peaceful. My blind was facing a meadow. For hours, I have been waiting for a stag to come. Nothing happened. I decided to go back to my cabin.
I was just stepping out of the blind when I heard a sound on my left. A red deer stag was standing up and facing me. I guess he was sleeping there. I made some noise, and he woke up.
Carefully and very quietly, I move my camera to my eyes to take a photo. He did not move. He was simply like me: surprised. He stayed in front of me for more than thirty seconds. I had the time to look carefully at him. My mind was wandering. Immediately, I got the title, and the story of the fine art print I wanted to create for a unique edition.
