Black and White Wildlife Fine Art Prints : “Deer in the Mist”

Red Deer are elegant animals that display both grace and power. I have been photographing them for years. Each year, I spend weeks in the forests of France to capture their behavior during the birth of fawns in spring or at the time of the rut in autumn. I never tire of such shows.

For me, the red deer, which is a symbol of animal power, is also the king of the European forests. I had the opportunity to observe their sights while I was were in blinds. I have always been impressed by their stature and their pride that is revealed through the red deer’s powerful body.

For this collection, I chose to show red deer in the mist during the fall. The red deer I show are majestic and inspire the greatest respect. Each shot took days of waiting and patience because the mist is a phenomenon that requires special weather conditions to occur.

This collection of pure, dreamlike photographs is an invitation to simplicity and introspection. I also chose minimalist photographs to better showcase these red deer and their wild beauty. These are moments of grace where time seems to stand still just for a second as this extraordinary king of the forests of France showcases all his glory.
