Our mission is to further environnemental and cultural conservation through ethical photography.
The MYN Mission
Meet Your Neighbours is a worldwide photographic initiative dedicated to reconnecting people with the wildlife on their own doorsteps – and enriching their lives in the process. These creatures and plants are vital to people: they represent the first, and for some, the only contact with wild nature we have.
I can't envisage work without a equipment on which I can count at every moment, whatever the environment in which I am and whatever the subject I have in front my eyes.
I found with Canon DSLRs and lens the perfect equipment on which I can count eyes closed.
Je ne peux envisager de travailler sans un matériel sur lequel je peux compter à chaque instant, quel que soit l'environnement dans lequel je me trouve et quel que soit le sujet que j'ai sous les yeux.
J'ai trouvé avec les reflex et objectifs Canon le matériel parfait sur lequel je peux compter les yeux fermés.

Much more than a simple brand of gloves, Vallerret is a real community created around the winter image and the love of the cold.
Their motto is "We know the perfect winter shot takes patience and endurance, and if you’re going to thrive in winter, it requires the tools to stay warm."
It's more than an accessory for me. A tool that has become essential for my photographic practice, from the Yukon to Yellowstone in winter, never without them!
Bien plus qu'une simple marque de gants, Vallerret est une véritable communauté créée autour de l'image hivernale et de l'amour du froid.
Leur devise est "Nous savons que la photo hivernale parfaite demande de la patience et de l’endurance, et si vous voulez prospérer en hiver, vous avez besoin d’outils pour rester au chaud."
C'est pour moi plus qu'un accessoire. Un outil devenu indispensable pour ma pratique photographique, du Yukon au Yellowstone en hiver, jamais sans eux!
