a new idea germinated during the long hours waiting for the animals:

The Wild Rover

The adventure started with my childhood friend, Alain, a passionate geek who immediately joined the project.

Build a machine capable of getting as close as possible to the animals, in order to capture images at the 10 mm super wide angle.

Everything will be remotely controlled with a video reception box and remote triggering of the camera.

The first field tests will take place at the beginning of 2023 and the big trip to Africa at the end of the year.

We will keep you informed of the progress of the results on our news blog.

Publication of my photos by the WWF

The tigers of Bardia Nepal are making the buzz on the net….

New publication discovered on the net, article of the WWF, illustrated by 2 of my photos of tigers.

How many souvenirs to remember this unforgettable moment of life…

I had the opportunity to observe the bengal tiger several times in its natural environment, in this marvelous national park. But, this day when 2 young tigers ran past my lens to catch up with their mother will forever be my best observation of this mythical feline.

Memories of our trip to Kgalagadi

In 2019, we were finally able to carry out our adventure in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, on the South African side. This international park, which includes Namibia, Botswana and South Africa is located in the far north west of South Africa over 1200 kilometers from our regular home base in Kruger National Park. We had been dreaming of this trip for a few years, and we were able to put it in place thanks to the camping trailer borrowed from a friend who can travel on off-road tracks. Distant of more than 250 kilometers from the first city, a very particular organization was necessary for this stay of 2 months and a half, in order to explore in depth all the different biotopes and hope to discover all the fauna of this arid land partly desert. .

Eight thousand photographic shots later, you will soon be able to discover the best of them on our website.
