About author:

Born in France in 1962, i am a self-taught amateur photographer, fond of wildlife photography. I started shooting wildlife in the 80's with a Novoflex 400mm lens and its -at the time- revolutionary fast focusing grip. For more than 20 years, I have been a loyal user of Canon cameras and EF lenses, for both underwater and above the surface animal photography, wherever my travels take me.
