At the beginning of spring, Atlantic puffins return to land to breed. Forming monogamous bonds, they return to the same burrow each nesting season, where the female lays a single egg. Jérémie patiently waited for the perfect weather conditions to photograph the puffins on an uninhabited island off the coast of the Varanger Peninsula.
Upon returning to their burrow after a year at sea, the puffin pair engages in a ritual called billing. Puffins will approach each other, wag their heads from side to side, then rattle their beaks together. This important element of their courtship helps the pair restore and strengthen their bond.

Jérémie believes that somewhere on Earth, what we imagine becomes real. He left his studies to travel alone by ski and sled. Over these long, solitary expeditions in remote places, Jérémie uses the pure snow as a painter uses a white canvas. All his white photos are published in an art book titled Neige, and his work is featured in art galleries around the world.
Help us harness the power of photography to advance scientific knowledge, spread awareness of important issues and nurture a global love for nature.
