Photography

October 2025, back to Indonesia. First stop: the island of Ambon, in the Moluccas. The objective: an underwater photo safari in «macro» mode.

Until the end of September 2025, twenty-four of my underwater images will be exhibited in large format, outdoors, in Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne), along the canal.

Fiji, here I am at last! First stop: Rakiraki, in the north of the island of Viti Levu. I'll be diving in the Bligh Waters, renowned for its coral reefs.

December 2023. I've just returned from a four-month trip to Fiji, Polynesia, Australia and Indonesia... After three years without traveling, three summers spent diving in Brittany near my home, I took a long leave of absence to go bubbling in seas warmer than the English Channel...

Before, I used to travel to dive. Today, the climate emergency encourages me to reduce my air travel. No more warm exotic seas?

In the Philippines, Balicasag Island is a popular dive site. You can observe a huge silvery school of trevallies, spinning near the reef. A fascinating sight...

Making bubbles along coral drop-offs overflowing with life and colour, what a delight! In the Philippines, Cabilao Island is a real little underwater gem.

Near Bali, Indonesia, Sumbawa Island and its volcanoes offer a fantastic variety of dives. From manta rays to nudibranchs, the underwater world is full of wonders...

Fancy Indonesia? I will take you diving in the waters of Sali Kecil, a remote little island on the west coast of Halmahera. Magnificent!

In July 2018, I returned to dive in the waters of Indonesia's Alor archipelago to explore its splendid coral reefs... often swept away by furious currents!

Fancy the big blue? Let's get into the water! I take you to the Red Sea for scuba diving, freediving and underwater photography....

His name: Melibe colemani. This small sea animal is the star of Romblon, Philippines. Divers are ready to travel thousands of miles to admire this strange sea slug!

Traveling light, I do not know what it is! In March, I went diving in the Philippines, Anilao and Romblon. With, in my luggage, a cumbersome paraphernalia to photograph the tiny wildlife that lives under water.

This is my last wonder underwater photographer: ships sunk in the Red Sea, colonized by coral and fish. Spectacular wreck dives in Egypt!

They are beautiful, long-legged sharks! I loved watching and photographing them in the Red Sea. But I admit, they are also a little scared ...

These tiny sea horses are a-do-ra-ble !!! But they are shy, who hate to be photographed ...

In 2012, I discovered Rangiroa and its spectacular shark gathering. My dream: to go back there and also to dive in Fakarava, another legendary Polynesian spot to observe the sharks.

In Mexico, the Yucatán is like a Swiss cheese, pierced by freshwater holes known as "cenotes". Sacred to the Mayans, today they are ideal for bathing... and diving!

Nothing is more annoying to photograph than a seahorse-pygmy. Too small. Too much camouflaged. Too shy. But his delicate plastic is worth a few efforts.

The Red Sea is blue, that's understood. But below the surface, the colors explode! Red, yellow and pink corals, photogenic as possible!

I discovered the joys of fisheye, during this stay devoted to underwater photography in Hamata, Egypt. Magic of optics, which perfectly recreates the atmosphere of the seabed of the Red Sea.

I'm coming back from Egypt. A holiday break in the south of the country, at the edge of the Red Sea ... A whole stay dedicated to underwater photography!

I finally passed under the surface, with delight, in the waters of Pulau Weh. The underwater fauna is dense, varied. The two short weeks of my stay here will not be enough to explore everything!

I've fallen for it. For a very, very nice toy that I intend to take underwater with me: an SLR camera. It's a Canon 7D, from the Eos range. I love it already.

It's in the latest Chercheurs d'eau! In two columns, at the top of the page, it's my slug. A sea slug photographed this summer in Sipadan, Malaysia (Borneo). Anthony Leydet, a specialist in marine biology, devotes a passionate article to these charming creatures in the November issue.

I like the way he looks at the world. I love her photographic work. Marie-Ange Ostré is a globetrotter and diver, like me. She has just published her first book, and it's a pleasure to rediscover her images in this way.

Pantai Songean is the perfect beach. A beautiful cove of black sand, discovered a year ago, in Bali.

No camera, no underwater photos... A look back at my photographic setbacks with my Canon Powershot A95, in Thailand.

I haven't had much time to myself since I got back... I'm just starting to sort through my photos from Thailand. And I can't believe I've managed to bring back so many images, despite the vagaries of my camera. To begin with, here are my underwater photos of Koh Lipe.

If, like me, you love Southeast Asia and sometimes spend hours on the web looking for blogs and images from other travelers, you may be familiar with Yann Senant's website, Impressions vagabondes. Here, he posts his travel diaries, complete with photos and videos. A site nicely subtitled "The extraordinary adventures of an ordinary family".

My clownfish on the front page! I'm very proud... Several of my underwater photos are published in this special edition of Sunday's Ouest-France, entitled Au cœur des Océans. It hits newsstands this Thursday.

This discussion thread on VoyageForum.com inspired me to create the following series of photos. Unusual or funny scenes, captured during my various trips to the "land of smiles"... Amazing Thailand! (Thai Tourist Board slogan).

Exceptionally, a short "Between two trips" post with no connection to Asia or diving... I've just discovered myself in a 360° panoramic shot taken at the Trans Musicales in Rennes this weekend. The image is by Loïc Lebreton (Photoinfographe.com and 360ouest.com).

The clownfish is the most popular tropical fish, thanks to the film Finding Nemo. While sorting through my photos, I was delighted to rediscover the clownfish I've flashed over the years. Here's a photo gallery of my own little world of Nemo.

Argh! There it is: a DSLR that also does video! Just like the compact ones !! The kind of camera I dream of to accompany me in my travels...
