Philip Richard

Philip is a French nature photographer whose work lies at the intersection of scientific precision and artistic sensitivity. A former researcher specializing in atmospheric electricity and extreme weather phenomena, he has spent years exploring the world’s most electrified regions — from Africa to Asia and the Americas — developing a unique connection to natural forces and the language of light.
His photographic approach is rooted in a hyper-realistic aesthetic, seeking to capture not only the visual impact of nature, but the deep emotional resonance it evokes. Each image is meticulously planned, sometimes years in advance, and emerges when light, place, and natural elements align to create the right impression — one that restores the visceral, almost universal awe we feel when faced with the power and beauty of the Earth and the Universe.
Through his lens, Philip invites us into a space of contemplation and presence, where the visible becomes a doorway to the invisible — and where photography becomes a way of reconnecting with the primal forces that shape our world.
