Fabien Dubessy
French naturalist photographer
From his earliest years, Fabien Dubessy has developed a sensitivity to what surrounds him. His walks in the great outdoors stir his curiosity, the flora and fauna intrigue him and respect for his environment becomes the common thread of his work.
After studying ecology, his interest in birds took on more prominence. Naturally, he set off to discover them by training in the profession of ornithologist.
As he develops his knowledge, his gaze becomes more precise. His patience and perseverance offer him privileged moments that he likes to share through his photographs with the greatest respect for the subject and his environment.
Her artistic work is based on a desire to photograph nature as it is: close, diverse, common, present at all times and in all weathers. Drawing his inspiration from the heart of nature, Fabien Dubessy offers a look combining finesse and creativity, revealing a gentle nature.
