Storytelling

Hi, I’m Yoan and this is Jacob, my loyal miniature poodle and travel companion.

Since I was a child, animals have been my truest friends. In moments when I felt alone, they were always there  silent, kind, and full of life. Over the years, I realized that this bond never faded. My admiration for animals only grew stronger as I began to see how intelligent, unique, and deeply emotional they are.

Through my camera, I try to capture their essence  the quiet strength in their eyes, the harmony between light and wilderness, and the raw beauty that connects us all. Every photograph is a love letter to nature, a reminder that the wild is not something distant, but part of who we are.

As a medical professional and wildlife photographer, I’ve learned that exploring nature also means being prepared for it. That’s why I created the WildEyes Wilderness First Aid Kit  carefully designed and assembled by me, combining medical knowledge with the needs of adventurers, guides, and photographers. I believe that caring for nature begins with caring for ourselves.

My mission is simple: to inspire others to see the world through wilder eyes, to explore, to respect, and to protect.
Because the beauty of the wild isn’t just meant to be seen. It’s meant to be felt.
