BIOGRAPHY
Laurent Baheux was born in Poitiers, France and is a
contemporary photographer of nature. Through his love of editing in journalism he
discovered his passion for photography. His skill and awareness of the world
made him desirable to photography agencies, and in the beginning of his career
he covered many international competitions. Africa, however, has always
fascinated him. Since a visit to Tanzania in 2002, he began private work on wildlife.
“He chose black and white, with its play on shadow, light and contrast, to immortalize
rare and ephemeral scenes of nature, constantly trying to sublimate the
animals, to capture the magnificence of their attitudes, the emotion of their
look…” By doing this, Laurent wishes to depict the beauty of these magnificent
animals that walk our earth. He is very
active in organizations that help and protect animals. He is the author of Land of lions, which some say is like “an
ode to wild life”, as it is a moving body of work in black and white.
