Biosphoto : Agence Photographique spécialisée dans la Nature et l'Environnement

Lucas Mugnier

Born in 1996 in the heart of the Alps, nature has always been at the center of my life, my passions and my concerns. At the age of 7, I became passionate about fly fishing and bird watching, passions that have not left me since. From the age of 10, I started photography in order to share my nature getaways with my friends and family. Over the years, my photographic technique has evolved and my work has been rewarded in several international competitions. At the same time, I developed my naturalist knowledge as a member of the LPO (French League for the Protection of Birds), with whom I was able to participate in bird and amphibian monitoring, protected site development projects, animations and conferences. I wanted to know more about the biodiversity that surrounds us, so I did a degree in Biology-Ecology at the University of Savoie Mont Blanc (France) that I obtained in 2017. Always having the interest of travel and meetings, I completed my third year at the University of Quebec at Rimouski (Canada). I then continued my studies specializing in conservation ecology and I am currently studying for the IEGB Master (Engineering in Ecology and Management of Biodiversity) at the University of Montpellier. Thus, from the age of 10, I have been practising photography to engage people about the beauty and diversity of the living world around us, to which we don’t pay the attention it deserves.

This photo of Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) was taken near Montpellier (South, France), in a natural reserve near the Camargue. A flamingo stood alone in the saline, at sunset, far from other flamingos. I found this very singular flamingo and this one made the scene very melancholy in this light of Autumn evening. It was a rare day without wind and the reflection was almost perfect.This photo of Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) was taken near Montpellier (South, France), in a natural reserve near the Camargue.

The bird is a Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) and has been photographed in Jacque-Cartier National Park in Quebec (Canada) where its abundance is very high. Very surprised by the proximity of this meeting, I lay down on the floor a few minutes to be at its height. I then opted for the wide angle to put it in its environment: the boreal forest. Then I continued my hike to leave it alone. Galliformes are very territorial during the bridal period and come quickly to meet us in areas where they are not hunted.The bird is a Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) and has been photographed in Jacque-Cartier National Park in Quebec (Canada) where its abundance is very high.

This Cape petrel (Daption capense) followed the ferry that connects the North Island to the South Island of New Zealand crossing the Cook Strait. Several individuals of Cape Petrel followed the ferry flying in the brewed waters produced by the boat, giving a turquoise blue color to the water. I was then on the deck of the boat and therefore tried to compose a graphic photograph with the sea of intense blue color and this very contrasting bird flying waves in waves. This image was taken in September 2018 in the Cook strait located between the North Island and the South Island of New Zealand.This Cape petrel (Daption capense) followed the ferry that connects the North Island to the South Island of New Zealand crossing the Cook Strait.

The Weka (Gallirallus australis) is an endemic bird of New Zealand that has during the evolution lost the ability to fly like the famous Kiwi. It is very opportunistic and can eat various foods or sadly even human waste. This image of Weka was taken on a beach in Ulva island in New Zealand wich is "predatory free" because cleared of introduced mammals predators. The bird was not shy at all and came a few meters from me in search of mussels to eat at low tide. The Weka a is an endangered bird ranked vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.The Weka (Gallirallus australis) is an endemic bird of New Zealand that has during the evolution lost the ability to fly like the famous Kiwi.
