Laurent Baheux
Moustache de lionne
Über diesen FotografenLaurent Baheux develops his favourite subject, wildlife, exclusively in black and white:Africa is rich in colours, but for me it is a land of light and contrast. By thus simplifying the action of the light, the spectator can reach the essential without being distracted by colour. Laurent Baheux presents photos which emphasize attitudes, animals with almost human looks. He denies being an animal photographer. He makes it his exclusive mission to capture the beauty of a world on borrowed time and is hugely inspired by Peter Beard?s work. Through his repeated journeys and his field experience, Laurent Baheux is aware of the harmful effects of man on the environment and therefore on the species which populate this land. The photographer wants then to show the vividness of these species which are still living, but more than ever threatened and the immense richness that they represent for the planet. His awareness has turned into photographic commitment.

Obwohl Laurent sich zuerst vom Journalismus und als Redakteur berufen fühlte, entdeckte er doch bald eine wahre Leidenschaft in der Fotografie. Schon immer von Afrika fasziniert, begann Laurent Baheux 2002, während eines Aufenthalts in Tansania, eine persönliche Arbeit über die wilde Fauna Afrikas zu realisieren. Dafür wählte er die Schwarz-weiß Fotografie mit ihren Schattenspielen, um diese seltenen und vergänglichen Naturszenen zu verewigen, immer danach trachtend die Tiere zu sublimieren.
