Biography

Welcome to the site "Montagne et Nature".

This site has for only ambition to make you share my passion for the photography which I practise for several years. I am an amateurish photographer with a passion for nature and hiking. For me the hike is inseparable of the photo. Nature is the one that gives me inspiration, and the photo has taught me and developed my sense of observation, and ask a different view of what surrounds us.

I live in a neighbouring village of Nimes, in a region between sea and mountains close to two parks : "the Camargue regional Park" and "the Cevennes national Park".
The Cevennes which I like particularly is in about sixty kilometers, the Mount-Lozère in hundred of kilometers; the Camargue when to her is in about forty kilometers from Nimes. This thus allows me to organize my escapades and my hikes on a day.

I make of the photo since the age of 20 years, my first camera was a Zenit SLR (at this period, the Nikon F was not in my means). I continue from time to time to photograph in argentic with a big format Mamiya RB67, I use mainly of the slide " Provia 100F, for his neutrality. I practiced during several years the black and white lab, the emergence of the images under the safelight, has for me always something magical... I thus have a former argentic culture.

For several years, I devote myself to wildlife photography; this discipline requires a lot of time in the field, and perseverance.

This site will evolve over the course of my hikes and my favorites. I wish wholeheartedly that my images bring you so much enjoyment as the one that I had to realize them.

This site is dedicated to the beauty of Nature, and to all her lovers. Good ride in picture, good visit, and Thank you for your passage.
