Raising awareness through image, about environmental problems is an essential step for a wildlife photographer. That’s why I decided to launch the myNature series, sponsored by Jacques Perrin, which will invite you to explore the oceans, discover the poles, cross the jungle in an atmosphere of preservation and protection. A hymn to Nature, whose seasons have marked the tempo of my encounters.

BLUE MEXICO
With this first book of the myNature series, I’m taking you to the heart of Mexico. The waters that surround this country of a thousand colors are a place of migration and a refuge for many species. These pages distill nearly a dozen years of exploration, encounters, and exchanges, and aim above all else to speak for preservation. You’ll discover oceans, seas, lagoons, and underwater caves and share in the emotion and poetry of some of my most treasured meetings.
Blue Mexico lies between the blue of the sky and that of the ocean. A haven of peace conducive to exceptional marine and submarine discoveries.

TESTIMONY
This book offers people from different professions for whom preserving biodiversity is a priority the opportunity to express themselves. Their accounts speak to the need to preserve the nature around us: Céline Sissler-Bienvenu, The International Fund for Animal Welfare’s (IFAW) Director for France and Francophone Africa; Ellen Cuylaerts, underwater and wildlife photographer; René Heuzey, director and underwater film producer; Diego Antonio Nuñez Martinez, bird guide and naturalist in the national sanctuaries off the northern shore of the Yucatán; Alban Michon, polar explorer, ice and underground diving specialist; Hugo Verlormme, writer with a passion for the oceans, and Germán Yáñez, underwater speleologist, specialist of cenotes in Mexico.
