Spooked by the sudden arrival of a gyrfalcon, hundreds of seabirds take to the sky. Every spring thousands of birds of many species come to the coast of Norway to breed. But the seasonal return of the breeding seabirds also attracts predators. Jérémie’s photograph captures the pandemonium caused by the gyrfalcon’s arrival.
Eastern Norway is a sanctuary for nesting birds. Warm water currents from the Gulf Stream keep the sea around the peninsula ice-free all year round, allowing birds to feed on fish. In spring breeding birds share the ground with birds that have spent the winter there.

Jérémie believes that somewhere on Earth, what we imagine becomes real. He left his studies to travel alone by ski and sled. Over these long, solitary expeditions in remote places, Jérémie uses the pure snow as a painter uses a white canvas. All his white photos are published in an art book titled Neige, and his work is featured in art galleries around the world.
