Clément Wurmser

Although he has always been passionate about nature in general and the animal kingdom in particular, Clément discovered macro photography completely by chance. When he celebrated his graduation, he was offered a small digital compact camera, with a macro mode: he then realized that I knew nothing about the microcosm that had always lived with him, all these little critters that surround us and for which we often show only disgust and contempt. By observing them a little closer, we quickly realize the incredible richness of this tiny universe imbued with poetry, colors and contrasts. Clément wants only one thing for his photos: that they make anyone who sees them want to take the plunge and venture into this fabulous biotope that inhabits the intimacy of our gardens.

For more than twenty years, he has traveled through the forests of the Oise as well as the great plains and parks of Kenya. During my outings, Florent perfects his techniques to set up ideal settings, he learns to know the meeting places of the different species, to wait, to capture the intimacy of these discreet and secret lives. Over the months, Florent observes and studies their movements in order to photograph them in different settings and atmospheres. The desire to discover this fauna so close to our towns and villages but so little known, and the desire to share is always present in him.

Philippe Tessé

Philippe, autodidact, lover of photography for a long time, took advantage of his travels around the world to capture portraits and scenes of everyday life. One of his last destinations, South Africa, made him discover wildlife photography and become aware of the beauty and fragility of wildlife. Today, his wish is to continue to progress technically in this field by not contenting himself with simply being a spectator but also a witness to the changes which are taking place and which threaten the beautiful balance of nature.

Olivier Laurent

Passionate about photography, Olivier started out as a self-taught amateur like many others. The practice of portrait and product photography allowed him to acquire the technical bases to move later towards themes closer to nature such as landscapes and photos of insects (with a particular interest in spiders).

The beginnings were not very conclusive, the capture of the lightning with a silver SLR was quite difficult but the arrival of the digital facilitated the shooting. Storm tracking takes a lot of time during the peak season between April and September. A few kilometers from the very first storm hunt, today thousands of kilometers are traveled across the country in pursuit of the fiercest storms.
