Polar Photographer

I am a French nature photographer, passionate about the Polar regions and everything that lies beyond the polar circles. I live at 70°N in Utjsoki in the northernmost part of Finnish Lapland. I also travel frequently to the polar regions (Svalbard, Greenland).
 
Those fragile environments deserve all our attention to be preserved and protected.
 
With my photography, workshops and lectures, I aim to do put these regions under the spotlight.

Svalbard Photography Tour - Expedition ship

Join me on an exclusive small group photography tour on Svalbard. We will travel on board of a small ship with usually only up to 12 guests. We will be looking for the beautiful Arctic light, lots of sea birds and hopefully the polar bear, king of the Arctic.
