French photographer, journalist, reporter and environmentalist (born 13 March 1946 in Paris, France).
I think the only way to make people think is through emotions. Not,through the brain - through the heart.
The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness,The lions taught me photography. They taught me patience and the sense of beauty, a beauty that penetrates you.
I learned to be a hot-air balloon pilot to take tourists over the Masai Mara Reserve in order to earn some money and finance the work I was doing with my wife, Anne. We were studying the life of a family of lions for more than two years. Taking pictures was a way to capture information we could not put in words.
To have success in your professional life is not so hard. To succeed as a man is more difficult.
No one is an environmentalist by birth. It is only your path, your life, your travels that awaken you. .
