MICHEL d'OULTREMONTBorn in Belgium in 1992, Michel d’Oultremont got captivated by the nature surrounding him since an early age. After years of mammals' and birds' observations, he realized his first picture in 2007 after a lucky encounter with a tufted titmouse. It suddenly clicked.
Since then, he has covered thousands of miles through different continents; spend hours waiting for the right moment, the right light, and the right encounter…. Through his photography Michel wants to create emotions. The picture talks for itself. It’s a testimony of our reality. Never modify, never distort. For his work Michel d’Oultremont won several international prizes such as the Rising Star Award of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year in 2014 and the prestigious Fritz Polking Award Jr the same year. He is the first photographer to win both prizes. |
