About Artist

Emilie Favier

I particularly like photographing natural light, giving emotion in a photo, capturing scenes of life, immortalizing the moment! For me, photography is felt. As an animal lover, today's ecological issues are close to my heart, which is why I try in my photos to tell and show the beauty of this unique nature, which makes our planet so beautiful. A biodiversity that we absolutely must protect. I am self-taught, I learned photography on the job, by myself and I am proud of it. Passionate about adventure and cultures. I like to discover and highlight the world in its authenticity, to meet other cultures, often isolated, to blend into the atmosphere, to discover remote wild places and the fauna that lives there.
