I am an ENT Surgeon and have been shooting underwater views since 2006. As I am living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in Tahiti, scuba and free diving allow me to capture life within ocean and reefs. The discovery of the whales those are omnipresent in austral winter in Tahiti bring wonderment and emotion every year, I’m so amazed with the beauty and strangeness of the whole underwater world. To observe every kind of living species in their environment, from the littlest to the biggest, is really fascinating and is full of photographic challenges. Some of my photographs gained high attention and have been awarded in a few international contest dedicated to nature and underwater photography. They have been distributed by the Biosphoto Agencies since 2010.
