Golden Triangle (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Under the starry canopy of a burning night, along the Rift Valley, the eldersMaasaï gathered around crackling fires. And in the rippling reflection of the flames, their memories came to life... They remembered a time when they were free, unyielding guardians of their land, standing among majestic lions and leopards with coats streaked with night. The giraffes, with their necks stretched towards the starry sky, seemed to be engaged in a secret conversation with the Gods... Their shadows seemed to fade slowly into the twilight. Had they disappeared forever, swept away by the winds of change and the torments of history? Or were they still there, invisible ghosts in the folds of the savannah and the murmur of sleeping rivers, silent witnesses to a bygone age?
At the heart of Olkiramatian Conservatory, every photograph captured tells a profound story of coexistence between man and nature. This ecolodge, the brainchild of the Maasai, has a noble vision: to provide additional income for the community, while preserving the delicate balance of the ecosystem. The watering hole, lit by discreet LED spotlights, provides a scene where soft light reveals the nightlife of the savannah without disturbing its inhabitants.
AUTHOR
Graduated as an engineer, with a Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies in Signal and Image processing, I have taught Mathematics in high schools and engineering schools. A recent retirement allows me to devote myself fully to my passion for photography.
I'm a member of the Fédération Photographique de France (FPF). I have taken part in numerous competitions, both internal to the Federation and international, and the results obtained have earned me the distinctions of FPF Master and Excellence FIAP/Silver, as well as the FPF 2022 Grand Prix d'Auteur.
I exhibited my works in the most important Nature Festival in France as the Festival of Montier-en-Der, Phot’Aubrac and the Festival de la Camargue et du delta du Rhône.
Passionate about wildlife and humanist photography, I fell in love with sub-Saharian Africa, with its grandiose landscapes, its endearing people, its unique culture and its rich, exhilarating, fragile and hopeful wildlife.
