Nostalgie Pelsener

Drawn to nature from an early age, I chose photography as a way to protect what I deeply care about.

 In 2021, I spent five months documenting the resident cetacean population of the Teno-Rasca Special Conservation Area, on the south-western coast of Tenerife. This work contributed to long-term monitoring efforts through photo-identification.

 

My images have since been exhibited internationally, notably at the Berlin Natural History Museum during the 2022 Youmares convention, with the support of the German Ocean Foundation.

 

In 2024, I joined the French non-profit Longitude 181, founded by oceanographers François and Véronique Sarano, as an active member of the communication team.

 

Over the years, freediving has profoundly shaped the way I photograph — teaching me how to slow down, wait, observe and compose with intention. Whether working at the surface or underwater, my approach remains the same: quiet, respectful and attentive to the living world.

 

Through impactful black and white landscapes, marine life observations, or freedivers in motion, my work seeks to create a sensitive bridge between science, art, sport and the public.

 

I am available for commissioned assignments, editorial projects and collaborations with scientific and sports institutions, as well as conservation-driven organizations.

I also offer a selection of fine art prints, conceived as timeless pieces dedicated to Nature.
