About the artwork

Laurent Baheux's most beautiful artistic encounter occurred with lions. Fascinated by their imposing allure and serenity, the artist has succeeded in revealing their power and elegance through photography. Unlike the hostility and fear that the appearance of these felines often provokes, to Baheux, they only bring joy and a feeling of peace. At a reasonable distance, the lions allow him to approach and photograph them. Captured in an isolated way within their natural environment, they even appear to be posing in these shots.Shot frontally and in close up, Laurent Baheux's portraits in black and white are different from the norms of animal photography as they are more reminiscent of the grand tradition of photographic portraiture. The artist deliberately highlights the lions' character traits, as well as the intensity of their gazes and the majesty of their postures, magnified by a surprising play of light and shade.
