« Puffin dream » goes far beyond the photographic book complemented with narratives. First and foremost it is the timeless and unprecedented human covenant between a naturalist photographer and prominent scientists.
This work of art highlights all the research works carried out in the colonies around the world and reveals itself as a tribute to the men and women who are devoting their lives to the species.
More than six years of field survey and three years of writing were dedicated to the successful completion of the project.
« Puffin dream » was born from a dream.
The dream to go on enjoying the company of the lovely clown of the seas in the years to come. It is slowly, inexorably and silently disappearing. We must not disregard the fact any longer. Its vulnerability is explained through the opinion of prominent specialists who classified the Puffin as a species in the « danger of extinction ». Global warming and many other issues related to it are contributing to this phenomenon.
My fear to see it become extinct and my concerns about the evolution of our world made me aware that it was absolutely necessary to act. I decided that I would do something for it and I really loved it. Out of love and dedication, all that I have been doing through all these years, I have been doing it for the lovely Puffin.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
Laurent Echenoz was born on the banks of the Doubs and grew up in a peaceful
village, near a Franche-Comté forest. Very early on, his permanent immersion in this
unspoiled nature developed his sense of observing and listening to fauna and flora.
Naturalist photographer and avangardist, Laurent first learned many photographic
techniques from the best specialists. Then he created his style, playing with
originality with light, framing and pause time. Each image comes to life after many
hours of waiting for the moment.
Laurent's photography sublimates Nature. It invites us to travel to the heart of our
essence and shows us how precious our universe is. Each tree, each plant or each
animal becomes a work of art captured during fleeting moments of intimate
communion.
Laurent likes to share his passion by going to meet us at exhibitions, shows or
festivals. He then tells us about his sincere and pure works, where time has no hold.
He particularly appreciates these rich exchanges, born of the emotion his photos
arouse in us.
