Marc Costermans, a nature photographer specializing in ornithology, stands out for his rigorous approach to wildlife photography. His practice is based on an in-depth knowledge of species and their behavior, particularly European birds. He pays particular attention to the interactions between wildlife and its immediate environment, with a preference for discreet but revealing scenes observed from a hide.
His photographic work focuses on specific themes, such as kingfishers, kestrels, and red squirrels, which he documents in natural conditions without disturbing the environment. Each image is the result of a long process of observation, field study, and logistical preparation. This methodology allows him to obtain technically precise and scientifically usable images, suitable for communication, publishing, or popularization.
Marc Costermans favors natural lighting and unobtrusive compositions, capturing typical behaviors without artifice. His portfolio is regularly used in educational and scientific contexts to illustrate the behavioral dynamics of European species in their natural habitat. He is also active in training and supervising wildlife photography internships, contributing to the transmission of best practices for observation and photography in sensitive environments.
