Jean-Michel came to photography through his deep connection with the wild world. A passion for nature from an early age led Jean-Michel to photography as a means to capture magical moments of nature and wildlife. Contemplative by nature, he does not seek to capture a descriptive image, but rather a suggestive one, one that tells a story and bring us in an oneiric atmosphere. Always seeking stunning lights that sublimate wide natural spaces, his graphical sensitivity presents as refined images, combining strength and emotion, melting real and fairy worlds, dramatism and softness. Between dream and reality, he published in 2013 his first book called « The silvan souls », a personal approach on trees and forests. Jean-Michel's pictures are showcased at NATURAGENCY and he is regularly published in Geo magazine. The recognition he has receive at recent WPY, and GDT photography competitions strengthen his resolve and encourage him in his photography pursuits. Combining his passion for travel photography and wild spaces, Jean-Michel organizes and guides photo tours with Photographes du Monde agency for five years. From north of Europe (Scotland, Norway, Finland) to South America (Chile and Bolivia), his photographic universe brings him to beautiful wild places where he finds his main source of inspiration.

Kevin Tadej was born in Charente Maritime, France, in 1986.

After a health problem in early 2010, he discovered photography and bought his first camera a few months later. It was a true revelation.

Kevin quickly became interested in long exposure photography and made it his specialty in 2017. The long exposure in photography is a technique known and recognized by any photographer. Thanks to this one, he tries to create a real and fictional atmosphere at the same time. Keeping an element in focus and blurring the rest by the time that passes in front of the sensor, in order to immortalize it. At the origin of photography, there was painting. Kevin particularly appreciates when the photo merges with the painting, like a watercolor. Time and light "engrave" the sensor of his camera just like a painter covers his canvas with his brush.
