French wildlife photographer Fabrice Simon specializes in observing and visually documenting wildlife in a variety of habitats, from European forests to North American regions. He began his career in France, in Brenne and Normandy, before expanding to larger areas such as Quebec, British Columbia, and Alaska. These areas are ideal for studying iconic species such as brown bears, bald eagles, moose, and large European deer.
Fabrice Simon's approach is based on rigorous technical and naturalistic preparation. He uses equipment adapted to the terrain and the species he is targeting, such as remote-controlled triggers and soundproofing devices to limit the impact on the animals. This methodology allows him to capture natural behavior, whether it be predators in action, birds of prey hunting, or mammals in their habitat. The precision of his framing and his mastery of lighting constraints demonstrate his constant quest for documentary reliability.
His images have regularly been recognized at specialized festivals and competitions, and published in media dedicated to nature and the environment. His photographic work thus contributes to enriching our knowledge of forest and polar ecosystems, providing visual evidence of biodiversity and interactions between species. At the same time, he shares his expeditions and observations through books and exhibitions that provide the public with a scientific and documented view of the animal world.
