Laurent Baheux 1

Laurent Baheux is a french photographer born in Poitiers in 1970. He was attracted to journalism and editing at first, rapidly discovering a passion for photography and becoming a self-taught photographer. His devoted practice and his knowledge of the sporting world opened the doors to the top press photography agencies. From 2002, during a visit to Tanzania, he began private work on the wild fauna. He chose black and white, with its play on shadow, light and contrast, to immortalise rare and ephemeral scenes of nature, constantly trying to sublimate the animals, to capture the magnificence of their attitudes, the emotion of their look…
Laurent was awarded in 2007 by the famous competition Wildlife Photographer of the Year for his image "Lion's tail".
