Corentin Esmieu 🇫🇷

I am originally from Briançon and have always been passionate about mountains. The quest for a mythical animal quickly occupied all my free time. The wolf. My book “Wolf, a pack life in the Ecrins” won the Passy World Mountain Image Book Prize in 2020.

As a professional wildlife photographer and mountain guide, I have the chance to make a living from my passions.

What do the mountains mean to me?

The mountain is my whole life! It is home to so many wonders, it is my greatest source of inspiration. I am deeply passionate about these wild places and their inhabitants. I like to spend time there to unravel their secrets.
I have a deep respect for the mountains and what they bring to me on a daily basis.

What the mountain taught me?

I have been traveling through it since my childhood. It is an environment that can be indescribably calm and gentle but can transform in a few minutes into a more hostile environment.
All these experiences allowed me to learn a lot, both about her but also about myself.
She is the one who paved my way.

Why the Lagoped Family?

In my mountain practice I have always been very committed to respecting and protecting the environment and its inhabitants. Being part of the Lagoped Family means being in agreement with its principles 100%.
I am outdoors all year round in often difficult conditions and my Lagoped equipment allows me to face all the elements as best as possible.

My projects ?

Currently I am working on my second work on the wolf and it should see the light of day in 2025. (That is more than 5 years in the field in the quest for this fascinating species).

With my friends from Ecotalk, we also prepare awareness-raising reports on endangered species.

And of course as part of my work as a guide, many outings with clients in France or Europe :)
