Behind the Scenes

Here is a glimpse into my life around the planet, from Africa to Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Madagascar, Canada, and Europe. Not forgetting France, where I have the joy of sharing my stories during conferences and exhibitions, as well as through my publications.

These portraits are taken in real conditions, hence my often disheveled, bewildered, frozen, or sunburned appearance!

Don’t expect to see me here scratching the heads of big cats, monkeys, rare birds, and others that we all dream about. Of course, I have had the privilege of spending time with and getting close to them in the course of my work, and every encounter adhered to strict and respectful guidelines. But I avoid any presentation that could exacerbate the “selfie craze” that sometimes impacts animals and can lead to tragic consequences.

I thank my kind and patient subjects and the friends who took great portraits of me despite the difficult conditions and supported me throughout these journeys…
