Vincent Munier & Pentti Sammallahti

One amazes us with his color photographs of animals, the other is a virtuoso of black and white. One was born in the Vosges mountains in 1976, the other in the Finnish plains in 1950. Even though more than twenty years separate them and they live 3,000 km apart, Vincent Munier and Pentti Sammallahti have a lot in common: a desire to explore the world, a love and knowledge of nature and animals, a mastery of photographic technique, and a passion for photography books (they have both founded publishing houses). In short, they are united by a beautiful humanity and a unique perspective imbued with a curiosity that has not been eroded by years of practice. The idea of bringing them together came naturally to us, knowing Vincent Munier's admiration for Pentti Sammallahti's work.
