The images, unfiltered

The photographs are not colour graded. No warm tint added, no “Africa” filter. The colour of the real thing is the subject of the project; retouching it would be lying.

No face is published without the agreement of the person. No name, and no exact place. If you appear in an image and you want it gone, write to me at contact@objectif-naturel.com: it comes down, no questions asked.

For now, this is the preparation

The trip starts on 5 January 2027. Until then there is nothing more exotic than a garage in Savoie and equipment spread across a table. That is part of the project too, and it gets shown.

Filming and recording gear laid out on a table — The gear, before the first cut

Maps of West Africa spread across a table — The maps, in the evening

A camera body and a microphone side by side — The first thing bought

A van being converted, doors open — The first thing everything waits on

An open bag with camera equipment — What goes in the bag

A mountain landscape in Savoie — The starting point

A mountain stream between rocks — The stream

The inside of a converted van — The conversion

Spare mechanical parts lined up — The spare parts
