Every year, I return to France to photograph the red deer bellowing. I have a real passion for deer, especially red deer.

There are many other areas in the world where deer are bellowing during the autumn but the one in France has a special place in my heart.

On the one hand, in natural environments, deer are very wild because they are hunted. They have learned to be wary of human beings and especially hunters. Photographing them in their natural environment requires a perfect knowledge of the terrain and their habits. They do not let themselves be approached if they sense a predator nearby.

To photograph them, I use a fixed blind or a cloth photo blind, which is a piece of fabric that allows me to blend in with my environment.

The most interesting for me is to get to know the habits of the deer. I must find out which tracks they use to move around. I need to know where the oak, wild apple, and chestnut trees are, which is where the deer will come to feed.

The bellowing often begins in early fall. The deer emits loud cries or songs that are modulated according to different situations.

The season of the bellowing marks the mating season of the red deer.

The old males reconstitute herds of doe. Up to 30 females can be counted. The young stags try to build up a herd by challenging the old ones.

This is an opportunity to photograph terrible fights during which the deer can be impaled by the other's antlers and die of exhaustion. The deer are so excited that they plough the meadows with their antlers.

The activity of the deer during the bellowing can be summed up in three words: coupling, monitoring and defense.

The deer are beginning to lose weight at this point in the year. They become weaker, which is an opportunity for young deer to conquer older deer.

In this collection, I have chosen to show deer individually. The herds are absent. This artistic choice is voluntary.

I wanted to illuminate the power, the elegance, and the virility of the red deer. Some photos also show the despair of the deer that failed in conquering a doe. This sometimes happens when the deer is too old and can no longer win a fight against the younger and more vigorous stags.

The attitudes of these wild animals reflect human life. The older we get, the more we are swept aside to sit on the social bench.

I wish you a beautiful journey as you escape into the French prairies and woods.
