Within the grounds of the Maison de l’Environnement, the Nature Photography Festival has taken off. Organized by the Photon Collective, the festival welcomes young and old until May 31.
The opening took place in the presence of Andrée Alziari-Nègre, Municipal Councillor. Winners of the 9th Environmental Trophies of the City of Nice, the Nice-based photographers have captured precious moments which they share within the Maison de l’Environnement. An exhibition shared with exceptional azure animal photographers such as Florent Adamo, Philippe Galazzo, and Thierry Barra.
The Photon Collective at the Service of Nature
Since 2004, the Photon Collective has brought together enthusiasts of photography and nature. Its mission is to promote art and particularly regional photography. The Collective typically organizes exhibition tours in commercial, associative, or cultural locations, as well as during collective events of a nature-related nature. The Collective comprises 23 photographers.
Workshops for Everyone
The festival offers visitors the chance to try out different applications of photography through several introductory workshops:
- April 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.: Plant mask workshop with studio shooting
- April 13 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.: Workshop on perspective and emotive writing
- April 20 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.: Introductory workshop on playful photography
The Environmental Trophies
Every year, the Environmental Trophies mobilize individuals, associations, and schools who put their creativity and ingenuity at the planet’s service. This competition, accessible to all, has been rewarding numerous innovative and ambitious projects for ten years. It also aims to encourage individual and collective mobilizations to promote environmental protection.
Through several candid shots for a show that is both disturbing and touching, the Photon Collective invites the public to discover a tribute to “Mother Nature.” A journey into a pure, simple universe that reminds us how essential it is to protect the ecosystem and how insignificant Man remains in the face of the immensity of nature.
