Still Wild is a series of eight images capturing the raw beauty and enduring spirit of the wild Camargue horses along the windswept beaches of southern France. Known for their pale coats and powerful presence, these semi-feral horses are photographed in moments of movement and stillness—galloping through shallow surf, pausing in quiet formations, and standing against vast, open skies. Their white coats took on a golden tone as Golden Hour approached.

• Biography
  My work explores the landscape and environment as a sensory experience rather than as documentation. I am interested in how color and atmosphere shape perception, allowing a place to be felt, remembered, and internalized. Beauty is not treated as an endpoint, but as a language; one capable of carrying meaning, restraint, and emotional depth. Through color, atmosphere, and softened form, I translate the felt experience of place.
