About Jean-Marc

Photo by JM Buchet, webmaster of this site

My name is Jean-Marc Buchet. I was born in 1963 and grew up in contact with the nature of my native Belgian Ardennes, always with the same sense of wonder.

 

My passions for my countryside, the mountains, wide open spaces and travel naturally lead me to landscape and nature photography and, since 2010, to wildlife photography.

 

Whether it is forest, mountain, wildlife, or simply nature, I strive to render as faithfully as possible what is beautiful in this world, as well as what is not always visible at first glance.

 

My approach is simply to restore and share this surrounding beauty and to respect the ethics of not disturbing nature.

I am the author of a photo book, Bouillon-La Semois, published by Editions Weyrich. The book revisits, through images, the work "La Semois" by the Bouillon poet Maurice Pirotte. A few copies are still available...
