No cage, or fence. No circus, or zoo. Only free and wild. Captivity is a physical and mental torture for animals as well as for humans.

Ice is Black

A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY
WITH A UNIQUE MONOCHROME STYLE
TO REDISCOVER THE FAR NORTH
AND ITS ULTIMATE AND PRECIOUS ANIMALS

Navigating landscapes as pure as before the Anthropocene era.
Encountering the marvels of the animal kingdom—living symbols of life in the wilderness.
Seeing them walk, hunt, play, and live, fitting in with their environment so naturally, and then,
when the time is right, pressing the shutter.
This is what Laurent Baheux cherishes most.
The french nature photographer comes back to his Arctic expeditions
with a duotone collection of scenes and portraits in a unique style.

"In this territory that I did not know, I posed a virgin and contemplative look.
I discovered a great desert inhabited by shifting and furtive shadows.
The animals that we track for days appear and disappear as if by magic."

OPEN OUR EYES TO AN ENDANGERED TERRITORY

The Arctic is the domain of the Bear, Wolf, Fox and Reindeer gods.
Any human incursion must be made with humility and respect.
Nevertheless, it is a highly coveted land and that's why ICE IS BLACK.

With this title, Laurent Baheux provides the melting ice, the quest for new sources of petroleum and the associated dangers...
It also represents a personal and distinctive photographic approach on this fragile and harsh environment.
His high-contrast black-and-white images focus the eye on the subject:
a bear’s dense fur, the long hairs of a reindeer, a seal’s elastic whiskers, the roughness of the snow,
the reflection in the water, the edges of a glacier—all take on a very special quality...
their outlines prominent against the backdrop.
Like the cold, he is able to ruthlessly strip back the ice and the snow, the blinding sun of the Great North.

The reader is immersed in a photographic journey with more than hundred pictures in the heart of the Far North
and closest to its ultimate and precious inhabitants.
