We are very happy to be the guests of honor at the Nature Photo Festival, 48 hours flat for a photo from July 5 to 7.
“Freezing fleeting perfections, capturing the elusive, as a call to love to better protect our nature and get closer to the essential”, this is what Stéphanie and David Allemand have wanted to convey through their images for almost twenty years .
This couple of professional photographers share their passion for photography and nature in the reports that they regularly publish in the French and international press.
“Northern Paths”
Twenty years of wandering in the Nordic lands to freeze the fleeting perfections of a fragile nature and capture the elusive, this is what David and Stéphanie Allemand present to us in their latest work and their exhibition “Chemins du nord”.
From Scandinavia to the confines of the Arctic, photographers have set foot on the lands of Iceland and Greenland, discovering at the bend of each path a plural and contrasting boreal universe where the taiga gives way to the tundra, the volcanoes to the ice.
Here, a mysterious great gray owl can be seen behind each tree; further on, a brown bear advances in the mist; elsewhere, an arctic fox hurtles down the original lands while a puffin looms on the horizon; there, the walruses are languid on the arctic beaches and the polar bear imposes itself as Lord of the ice…
From velvety visions to chimerical moments, this work is an invitation to suspend time.
A true ode to the Nordic horizons and the living, “Chemins du nord” is a call to love and protect our nature, to get closer to the essential.
