Visual Arts FrEdEric Tillier - Nature Photographer
The work requires infinite patience. ‘You have to know and understand the animal or bird in its habitat before you can take an image’ he says. ‘The region of the Saône et Loire where I live is very rich in subject matter, but I also go regularly to the Jura where the wildlife is completely different.’ Tillier is an amateur photographer, which he says, leaves him free to choose his own subject matter, without commercial pressures. ‘The most important thing, in my eyes, is to respect life.’ ‘In the countryside people often ignore the richness of nature which is before them. In a life which leaves less and less place for observation and reflection, I hope naively that these images contribute to enrich our existence and awaken some of our senses.’ If you are a keen nature photographer or birdwatcher, Frédéric shares some of his locations in the Lower Doubs Valley with you, see Birdwatching.
