«  Ma complicité avec les chevaux de Camargue »  is a photographic book entirely conceived by photojournalist Hans Silvester, in which every image has been carefully selected to create a magnificent composition.

Hans Silvester takes us to the heart of a still-wild Camargue, discovered during his first journey there in the early 1960s, when he arrived on a Vespa from Lörrach, his hometown in the Black Forest. Welcomed by two gardians who would become his friends, he gradually, through patience, observation, and a sensitive gaze, earned the trust of these horses living in complete freedom, not yet tamed by humans. Remarkably, all the images presented in this album are devoted exclusively to the horses, with no human presence at all, a bygone era. It took many days to accustom the animals to his presence, for although robust and powerful, they are above all animals of flight. Hours passed as he drew closer little by little, until the day the mares no longer raised their heads or even pricked their ears: Hans Silvester had become part of their lives, and the reportage could begin.

This fascinating album transports us as much through Hans Silvester’s talent as through the beauty of these wild animals. The artist has succeeded in immortalizing moments of freedom and life in the heart of nature: from births to fights, from unlikely friendships to moments of tenderness. Each photograph has been meticulously chosen by the artist, and every page is printed in photo quality to enhance them further. Published in a limited edition, Ma complicité avec les chevaux de Camargue is the wildest volume in the collection bringing together Hans Silvester’s most celebrated works.

All photographs can be printed individually as limited editions, numbered and signed by the artist, in various formats.
