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

Thibaut Vergoz

J'ai découvert la photographie au gré de rencontres durant mes études de géographie et d'écologie. J'ai débuté avec la photo de nature, et notamment animalière, ce qui fut une excellente école de la technique. En travaillant comme technicien de terrain pour différents laboratoires de biologie, j'ai eu l'occasion de me perfectionner et d'accumuler une certaine quantité d'archives photo au Canada, en Alaska, en Islande et dans les îles subantarctiques françaises. Les îles, en tant que mondes isolés, théâtres d'un spectacle naturel et humain souvent unique, sont un sujet que j'aime particulièrement.

Je travaille aujourd'hui essentiellement sur des sujets de société, en relation étroite avec les grandes problématiques environnementales. J'essaie souvent de mettre en avant l'aspect paradoxal de situations absurdes.

Auteur photographe indépendant, je suis représenté par Biosphoto depuis 2009.

Kopeto Nickel mine in New Caledonia ; The mining massive Kopeto operated for fifteen years by the SLN (SLN). This is one of the highest in Caledonia mines. Mining of this massive destroyed forest moss. The ore is transported to the port of Cape Deverd, or it is then loaded onto barges for bulk carriers.

Revegetation of former mining land New Caledonia ; Revegetation based Araucaria (columnar pines) along the road that connects the road to Yate the Pic du Grand Kaori on land degraded by mining activities often more effective, among others threatened by the invasion of introduced plants, the Caledonian plants (often endemic) to colonize disturbed sites. However, less suitable for soil conditions in this area of ??New Caledonia (ultramafic nickel-rich and toxic), the choice of this species is controversial. Replanting kaoris (endemic and highly adapted to these conditions) is warranted.

Fire in open dump Saint-Pierre and Miquelon ; Nothing is done to disappear both foul landfills open always present in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and in addition to disfigure the landscape and pollute convey a very unflattering picture of the archipelago. Sorting waste is non-existent in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, the entire cast is loose in these discharges and partially burned in the open, of course without the slightest fume filtration, when the winds are oriented towards the sea, and not to the islands or to their Canadian friends in Newfoundland. Going through these discharges, walking on layers of accumulated waste for decades, burned or not, more or less polluting and biodegradable. A composting plant was built close to the "Dampe" Saint-Pierre. But no manager in sight, and the building is for the moment completely unused. Besides the excitement of the most lucrative projects, preservation of the environment is a minor concern in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, or deeply rooted habits do not change easily.

Dune Miquelon-Langlade Isthmus Saint-Pierre and Miquelon ; Langlade and Miquelon islands are connected by a sandy isthmus 12Km, farm since the late 18th century. Legend has long wanted him to be formed on the wrecks of many ships from running aground on the shoals wanting to pass between the two islands. Since 1816, more than 650 shipwrecks have been identified. With work on the isthmus by the CNRS past ten years, we now have evidence that its formation is the result of a natural phenomenon. However, the accumulation of wrecks could well have accelerated the process. The erosion due to rising sea levels and increased frequency and severity of storms, increasingly threaten the dunes become a key channel of communication to the lives of people. Each year, the road must be redone, and revegetation, laying ganivelles, riprap gabions and other not seem to weigh very heavily against the threat of the ocean.
