Following the completion of his studies at the Mulhouse School of Art and the School of Decorative Arts of Strasbourg, Michel Gantner became the artistic director of an advertising agency. During 1998 he dedicated himself exclusively to photography, working with Nina Ricci, Kenzo, Cartier, Caron, Hermes, Annayake, Air France and more. His nature photography, an area he has worked on for more than a decade, has been the subject of exhibitions, advertising campaigns and publications around the world notably in Japan. These photos are from his series Jour & Nuit.

Wow these are gorgeous. There is definitely a nod to Karl Blossfeldt, yet a much more modern take on the subject. The photos almost feel as if they are scientific imagery taken for Seed Magazine or Wired.

Great work!

These are simply stunning. I agree with Eugen, these are a great blend of science and art. Love it!
