As far back as I can remember, the romantic concept of an unspoiled wilderness has tinted my first look on nature, and has influenced my academic education as well as the various projects in which I have been involved. Some figures clearly stir up my dreams, and keep inspiring me. The Swiss artist and philospher Robert Hainard was the first, and probably the most influential of all. Other sources, like the Arseniev's memoirs picturing Dersou Ouzala, Shackleton's adventures or Edward O. Wilson's essays have all influenced in one way or another my perception of nature.

I am a wildlife biologist. In our modern world, science and conservation give me opportunities to stay connected to nature, to improve my understanding of it and to contribute to its preservation. I have lived and worked in various environments, from East Africa to the Hawaiian islands, and from Northern Quebec to Antarctica where I spent 14 months on a scientific station studying wildlife at age 21. In 2004, I completed a Master degree in wildlife biology at the Université du Québec, which ended a three-year experience in Canada. I then moved to the USA and got involved in various conservation projects in California, the Caribbeans, the Hawaiian Islands and throughout the Pacific Northwest. In 2005, while lecturing at the University of California Los Angeles, I initiated a long-term project aiming at promoting the conservation of the Bale Mountains, in the Ethiopian Highlands. In 2009, I moved back to France, where I now manage an environmental consulting company.

I am a member of the International League of Conservation Photographers.
