As
a photographer, J-Philippe will consider any assignments related
to world cultures and adventure/leisure travel, especially
those with a focus on indigenous-related topics. His experience
guiding in mountain, jungle and ocean (diving and sea-kayaking)
environments, his language skills (English, French, Japanese,
Spanish, Indonesian) and his broad network of contacts he
is developing through the Native Planet NGO makes him uniquely
qualified to execute photo assignments in areas where others
would have difficulty operating. He considers his most important
asset to be his ability to relate to people from all walks
of life and to negotiate his way through difficult situations,
from border crossings to tribal politics. Photography isn’t
just a job, it is a way of life, a way of making friends and
in J-Philippe's opinion, the best kind of international relations.
