ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photo was taken during a trip to the blue mountains (Australia) in 2017.

Trees are like men. They breath, feel, and leave in society; the key was to observe what's underneath the ground.
Recently we have learned that trees communicate since ever and look after each other through the use of their roots.
When a tree is ill, injured, or simply needs food they don't hesitate to ask for help from other congeners so they will reroot themselves.
A specific example: when the african acacia is being eaten by a girafe he warns his friends thanks to the emission of gas blown in the wind.
With this warning the others would increase the toxicity of their leaves in order to discourage the coming animals to eat them.
Mother nature is a bag full of surprises we have just started to open.

AUTHOR
I was born in 1982 and leave in Paris, France.

I first discovered photography around the age of sixteen. I was living in Camargue in the south of France, surrounded by wildlife and incredible landscapes similar to the Iceland ones. It was clear to me that I had found a powerful meditative / creative activity that I would pursue all my life. It soon became a professional activity (EFET, Paris) and it's been more than ten years now. My practice of photography stands in different genre such as portrait, architecture, interior design and landscape. I am getting to a point in life where I am finally focusing on what speaks more deeply to me which is nature and wildlife photography.
