Richard , sphere to trot and photographer

Photographer and sphere to trot, can you forward yourselves to our ?

Above all, there was this inexhaustible passion for nature, big spaces, the discovery, the adventure and the shiver of freedom… in fact, for all that the voyages can bring!

This passion has been my engine for more than 20 years, and I was likely to thus carry out some 60 voyages in forty country.

Quickly, photography joined the aspect purely “voyage” and “ventures”, as a logical complement of my memory, tool content creator, and essential sensor of instantaneous emotions.

But my initial course remains atypical: electronics specialist of formation, I worked in industrial electronics, then in data processing as an chief technical officer, and I even finished company head…

But, in all these professional “lives”, I always “arranged myself” in order to be able to leave 2,3 or 4 times a year travel from there, accompanied by my cameras.

In fact, I am not really considered as professional photograph that since 5 years only, since I do not exert any more an other trade, and screw any more but of photography.

This told, my Internet site photoway.com has been my window for more than 10 years!! (I think of having been one of the pioneers in the field)

Which are your topics of photography of predilection?

Nature in the broad sense… big spaces, the horizons which seem infinite.

But it is necessary well to acknowledge that I am an “opportunist” photographer and, if my objective crosses any interesting subject… I do not hesitate!
Thus architecture, but also fauna and the flora, also take a very significant part in my work.

Are the gardens and the flowers sources of inspiration?

They are for me often havens of peace enabling me to be more creative; for example, when I visit a big city of the world, such Sydney in Australia, or Singapore, etc…

I always make a turning by the parks and botanical gardens which often these megalopoles have… an occasion to leave the purely urban tumult and to enrich my photographic library while discovering species and varieties which are unknown for me, and which are sometimes endemic with the country where I am.

If not, , I like “the Shaft of the Traveller”. In addition, the dew and the droplets on the leaves in the small hour are a great source of inspiration for me.

Lastly, my own garden, at home, is sometimes quite interesting!

Which are the gardens or the plants which marked you?

There exists a superb park in the small town of in New Zealand, with in particular of splendid pinks… “” of Sydney in Australia is very likeable or the garden of in Martinique.

Or, in less known recesses, as in the small town of Laying of Lima in the North of Portugal, which has a small European garden very set of themes sympathetic nerve.

But, much more close to at home, in the north of France, there is the sympathetic nerve Jardin in , which I find been successful very and extremely rich person.
