For most of us, China is often synonymous with overcrowded cities or industries, but there are still large natural areas where a variety of wildlife thrives. This exhibition was born following stays in China organized by Objectif Nature and guided by me in order to observe and photograph the local fauna. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the Chinese biodiversity of the provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan, in particular the extraordinary richness of the avifauna of these regions: pheasants, hornbills and other wonders. It seemed interesting to us to introduce the public to this little-known fauna. Rhinopitheques are primates living in mountainous areas; their morphology and their way of life are adapted to the harshness of the climate and to life at altitude. With their extraordinary faces, these monkeys are a godsend for the photographer and occupy a special place in this exhibition.

« Puffin Dream » va au-delà du livre photographique agrémenté de récits. C'est avant tout l'alliance
humaine hors du temps d'un photographe naturaliste avec d'éminents scientifiques.
Cet ouvrage d'art met en valeur tous les travaux réalisés dans les colonies autour du monde et se
révèle tel un hommage aux hommes et femmes qui consacrent leur vie à cette espèce.
Plus de six ans d'étude de terrain et trois années de rédaction furent dédiées
à l'aboutissement de ce projet

At the edge of the world, not far from the Bering Strait, migrating walruses come every year to stop in a lost bay in the Chukchi Sea. For a few weeks, in the fall, the largest gathering in the world takes place... Jean-François Lagrot photographed this stage of the walrus migration, during which more than 100,000 walruses come to regain their strength at the foot of the cliffs Cape Serdtse Kamen, in the Russian province of Chukotka, before crossing the Bering Strait.

Maurice Belvoix, passionate about the craft of forging and ornithology, felt the need to create metal birds. The iron is heated, forged, welded by the hand of man. The birds, placed on different supports, are presented in life scenes specific to their species
