Plant photographer Michel Gile reveals the beauty of gardens through the seasons.

Trained for three years at the Eurotechnique Photo school, Michel Gile began his career as a military photographer at the Friedrichshafen air base in Germany. It was during this period that he retained his high technical standards and attention to detail.

After a spell in the regional and agricultural press, he decided to devote himself fully to a more intimate passion: garden photography. Fascinated by the harmony between nature and human intervention, he captures the poetry of places, whether vast parks or more secretive plant sanctuaries. In each of his shots, light, structure and season enter into a sensitive dialogue. His precise, contemplative eye reveals spaces of beauty shaped by time and the human hand.
