Gilles Auroux

Country: France 🇫🇷

I am an autodidact underwater photographer with a passion for sharks, and my work has been awarded prizes in several international contests, published on various magazines and exhibited in nature festivals all around France.
With the pandemic and the successive lock down, my trips over the planet just became immobile travels and I had to turn my camera on new subjects. I chose to explore food photography, trying to achieve the difficult exercise to convey in one single image the full complexity of a topic that addresses all our senses and not only the view…
This preliminary work was awarded a 1st place at IPA 2021 and a 2nd place at BIFA 2021, which are very encouraging results, and even if I can now resume traveling the world and shooting our beautiful oceans, I will also definitely keep exploring more photographic fields…
