A specialist in alpine environments, Émile Séchaud reveals wildlife and its interaction with the mountain landscape.

Émile Séchaud is a French photographer specializing in wildlife and natural environments. Originally from the mountains of Haute-Savoie, he developed an interest in animals and ecosystems at an early age. His goal is to show the relationship between species and their habitat, placing the environment at the heart of the image.

His work is based on careful observation of the terrain and techniques such as hide photography and stalking. He photographs animals in their natural context, without staging, in order to produce images that help us understand biodiversity.

He also creates panoramas by assembling several images to represent landscapes as a whole. His series cover different habitats, often in mountains or in areas that are rarely visited, and aim to document wildlife in a precise and accessible way.
