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

Michel Loup

Né en 1963 dans le Jura, Michel Loup est passionné de nature depuis l'enfance.

Après avoir pratiqué pendant plusieurs années la photographie animalière, il s'oriente vers le paysage et publie deux ouvrages exprimant les liens profonds qui l'unissent à la nature jurassienne, et en particulier à l'eau, son élément de prédilection.

Dans son approche, Michel est toujours en quête de l'angle et de la lumière qui transfigurent la réalité, à partir d'éléments simples de la nature, ouvrant ainsi les portes sur l'imaginaire et sur le rêve.

L'eau et la lumière : deux pièces maîtresses dans sa démarche artistique.

Depuis des années le photographe guette leur rencontre, leurs jeux et leurs arabesques éphémères dans les paysages du Jura, où, qu'elle soit brume, neige, glace, lac ou torrent, l'eau est omniprésente.

Cette fascination a entraîné son objectif « de l'autre côté du miroir », vers l'univers subaquatique des lacs du Jura et des rivières brésiliennes, à la recherche du « paysage originel ».

Ses photographies ont été publiées dans de nombreux magazines de nature.

Il a obtenu deux prix au concours du Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2005, à Londres.
