"Voltige" is the result of 5 years dedicated to photographing birds doing aerial acrobatics never seen before : flight, fight, etc… Those fugacious behaviours, impossible to see with the naked eye, are freezed by the camera, thanks to high speed technics.

All photos have been taken with a white board set as background  to obtain this painting-like appearance. There is no special post-production editing except for the usual exposure, contrast and color saturation tuning.
