Vincent Munier

[2][3] Upon graduation from high school, he dedicated himself to wildlife photography and started traveling in remote corners of the world chasing wild nature.

[3] Colleagues praise his photographs for their poesy and their commitment to the overall atmosphere and focus on an entire scene, a moment in the life of the wildlife, instead of merely putting a rare animal in the frame.

[8][6] He is known for photographing in snow, which he likes due to the lighting associated with it, how it omits non-essential details from the image and the fact that animals manage to live in remote and harsh environments.

[2] His quest chasing the snow leopard became the subject of Tesson's book The Art of Patience [fr], which also includes photographs by Munier.

[3][10] The Velvet Queen was screened at numerous film festivals around the world, including the Cinéma for the Climate selection at Cannes, and won the César the Lumières Award for the Best Documentary.
