MATHIEU COURDESSES AMAZONIAN DREAM - AMAZONIAN FOREST, ECUADOR COAST - MAY 2021 Signed, numbered 3/10 Fine Art print on Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II paper, mounted on Dibond Atelier Fotodart / Atelier Image Collée 60 X 100 cm Estimate €1,000 / €1,500 Gift of the artist Born on March 2, 1994, Mathieu Courdesses is a French wildlife photographer. A graduate of ESCP Europe, he specializes in photographing endangered animals. From the mountain gorilla in Rwanda to the Sumatran orangutan and the brown-maned lion of the Kalahari desert, this nature expert has learned to share his knowledge and raise awareness thanks to his work as a guide in southern Africa. The strength of his photos lies in his use of light and his in-depth knowledge of the animal world. His photos are minimally retouched, and the idea behind his work is not to look good, but to bear witness to a natural event, a story, or just a light.
