A naturalist photographer, Anne-Claire Monna documents flora and fauna with scientific precision and a hands-on approach.
Anne-Claire Monna, born in 1978, is a French naturalist photographer whose work is based on a dual expertise in the biological sciences and the observation of living things. With a background in biology and as a science teacher, she has developed a rigorous photographic practice focused on documenting animal and plant species in their natural environment. Her approach focuses on the precise identification of subjects, the study of behaviour and the enhancement of ecosystem interactions.
Her portfolio includes images from a variety of locations, notably in Africa, Central America, Asia and Europe. She photographs wild species in situ, paying particular attention to their posture, their biotope and the conditions in which they were shot to ensure scientific legibility. Her subjects include mammals, birds, insects and amphibians, as well as plant species and micro-habitats representative of ecological diversity.
Anne-Claire Monna's photographic projects are based on detailed field observation, methodical location-finding and non-intrusive photography. Her work is aimed at publishing professionals, scientific institutions and conservationists. It feeds a constantly evolving iconographic database, adapted to documentary, educational and editorial uses.
