Wild Flying Life Through My Own Human Lens
This project which I am glad to present you is a selection of photographs that gave me particular emotion at the time of the shot. I approached photography many years ago when I needed to regain possession of this creative process: dedicating time to my passions allowed me to rediscover myself. I'm fascinated by carefully observing what happens in nature, by sharpening my senses to get in touch with nature and wildlife. I'm surprised to discover that around a big city wildlife is so alive. I use to leave home before the sun rises looking for places where birds, often so suspicious, may be fighting, looking for a prey to attack, feeding their babies, or just expressing their own emotions (curiosity, fear, joy, affection, love). I have often been surprised by the aggressiveness manifested for the defense or search of food: all laws of Nature, at the end! It is not easy to seize the countless opportunities that wildlife and nature offer us, they appear suddenly and are often unrepeatable!
