So, here is a condensed list:

I’ll admit easily that catching some hummingbirds in Peru was more difficult than in Ecuador. Nevertheless, I was able to catch a few ones. I tried focusing on multiple birds in the same shot, this time. You’ll see if they are good enough.

Wild Focus

This is the web site of my portfolios. There, you will see the subjects I really fell in love with and some more personal projects (often still a work in progress, like my half-portraits).

I love these small (or tiny, rather) birds. Colors, shiny feathers, high speed make them adorable and excellent subjects for photography. Truly fascinating…

So, I decided to create a kind of online portfolio in order to show only a severely reduced number of images – but specially curated to keep only those I really love. Thus they will become alittle more accessible.

But it became also the opportunity to share some of my intentions behind the pictures (in French). I don’t always randomly shoot pictures . I have some projects, some ideas, some intent. Sometimes, I can assemble them in a lighter package grouped around a common tune I chose. These portfolios now become available on :

Updates are much less common, but it’s more of my own photo raw personality.

Nick Brandt, famous wildlife photographer, wanted to render this fact more visible showing the conflict through a photo series (titled “This Empty World” – as it would be without wildlife) where it created superb photo compositions mixing animals and human industrial contexts.

Those are not photographs of these encounters, but pictures assembled on a computer. But these images speak louder than words. And they tell the underlying reality in a spectacular way.

Next time, I’ll bring a cobra flash in order to lighten a little the shadows… and I recommend having clothes which will tolerate being drowned into coco milk.
