The Story of the Collection

Wild birds have fascinated me since my earliest childhood. I was born in the countryside. My first steps in nature were accompanied by the melodious songs of the larks or the swallows that nested in the spring nests built in the farm barns.

When I became professional wildlife photographer, I chose wetland birds, especially migratory birds, as a photographic theme.

For me, the flights of birds are synonymous with freedom, escape, and departures to new unknown horizons. I am a free human being. I do not like the bindings, constraints, and binding regulations often dictated despite common sense. I accept the constraints only from the moment they are justified for the wellbeing of each one. I am wary of instances where they serve personal interests.

« I am free because I know that I am morally responsible for all my acts. »

For this collection of flying birds that illustrate freedom, I chose black and white. The photographs are perfectly refined, ethereal, and suggestive. They correspond perfectly to my artistic approach. I wanted to create an airy, dynamic, and lightweight collection.
