I spent my childhood in the Arve Valley, and from the age of 14, I'd jump on my moped to survey the nearby Voirons massif and discover the wildlife of the area. After spending 7 years in the Chablais, I settled in the Vallée du Giffre, which is my main spot for photographing animals. I make it a point of honor to find the different species here, even if it would be much easier to go to certain countries where wildlife has more space and certain species are present in greater numbers. I've refined my photography and spotting techniques over the years, and now I'm sharing this experience through conferences that are intended to be friendly and interactive.
