    An unbelievable large school of sardines, moving as one unit, opens while each individual tries to escape at the maw of grouper and dentex. The tiny sardines found themselves in a situation which limited their chances of survival, since they were locked up between the surface and the shallow bottom, with very few possibilities to escape the predators’ mouths. The large school was so big to darken the natural light coming through the surface in the shallow water and frantically moved apart under the attacks of the groupers and dentex, to reassemble shortly after. The school of fishes continually changed shapes, similarly to the flocks of starlings in the sky.
I remained hours in the shallow water, doing my best to take a representative picture, while avoiding to be part of the feast. Species : Sardines, Leopard grouper (Mycteroperca rosacea), Dentex

    A free diver exercises dynamic apnoea below an iced platform, in the chilly salt water of the White Sea, at minus 2 degrees Celsius. Must be extremely prepared, brave and self-controlled to free-dive, holding the breath, in ambient without a fast and clear access to the surface.
Reaching the underwater world, is an adventure itself since a thick layer of ice bars the passages every night, due to very low temperatures, and every day one must cut ice holes (called mainas by locals) into the ice platform. Salted water needs very low temperature to freeze. Below the ice platform, the upper layer is a melt of fresh and salt water, allowing a surprising amount of life to thrive. 

Location: White Sea, northern Russia.

    'Octopus Training', At the end of a session of free diving, I noticed a soccer ball, in the distance and on the surface. Intrigued I approached it, and then I noticed that below it was an octopus that was being pulled along by the current. I do not know what it was doing under the ball, but I think it is training for the next football World Cup! There was time for me to take a couple of shots before the octopus let go of the ball and dropped back to the seabed.

    This young Tarsius (Tarsius tarsier complex) was photographed during a 10 days monitoring, following a local guide and a scientist. The day before this picture we saw individuals in this part of the fig tree. The next day we installed flashs in and outside the tree before that theses individuals start their activities in order to limit the disturbance. After a long wait this young came on the right place and i could only take few shots before they leaved the tree to hunt during the night.
 Highly commended at Asferico 2018.

    This very large Calumma parsonii encounter near a little river from the natural reserve of vohimana (Madagascar) was moving. I want to show the movement then I used different flashs intensity between first plan and the background and i was also moving the camera to obtain this effect. Surprised by the lens proximity the chameleon try to bite me then I stopped the photo shoot. Highly commended at GDT 2018. 1st place at Montier en Der festival (category Other Animals) 2018.

    The mimicry satanic leaf-tailed gecko (Uroplatus phantasticus) was one of our target species during our mission in madagascar. This species is quiet common but really hard to spot in the wild. After several night or search we finally were lucky enough to spotted it. This wild individual was photographed during the night in the Mitsinjo natural reserve. Madagascar Finalist at Namur contest (FINN) and Big Picture 2018. Highly commanded at GDT contest 2018.
