Josselin Cornou, a French-Australian photographer specialising in adventure and landscape photography, is also a software engineer and the father of two students at CFBL. Since 2017, his photographic journey has taken him across every continent, in search of powerful images and human stories in some of the world’s most extreme environments.
His expedition to Antarctica marked a decisive turning point in his work. Confronted with the fragility of this unique continent, Josselin Cornou chose to focus his approach on sustainability, education and environmental protection. Since then, his work has gained international recognition and has been published by National Geographic, the Committee on Space Research (2021), the World Photography Awards and Australian Photography Magazine, among others.
Invited by the eco-delegates, he came to share his Antarctic expedition in connection with the scientist we are following, Robert Swan, the first person to walk to both the North Pole and the South Pole. Through his images and stories, he demonstrated how photography can become a powerful tool for raising awareness, while sharing his memorable encounters and adventures on the Antarctic continent.
An inspiring talk combining exploration, science and commitment, reminding us of the essential role each of us plays in protecting our planet.
