Born in an ancestral French castle, Dubois was raised from an early age in the unforgiving environment of the World War II era Sahara Desert. Educated by a motley assortment of European expatriates and desert nomads, young Jean-Louis was attracted to art and nature equally. Later in life, Dubois incorporated both of these interests into his life's work: artfully photographing the wildlife of some of the most remote locations on earth. In the words of one writer: "His technique combines elements of beauty to translate animals and their behavior into compelling pictures. He uses his subjects as an artist uses colors on a palette. It is only when his subjects come together in a certain desired balance that the moment is captured on film." The photographer's extraordinary images are printed using an equally extraordinary technique: the carbon print. One of the oldest permanent photographic processes, carbon printing is more of an art than a science: master printers spend years learning the process. Each carbon print is unique, the result of up to three weeks of painstaking printing. Jean-Louis Dubois' dedication to - and mastery of - the art of carbon printing is obvious to any viewer of his stunning prints. Dubois has said: "We have dedicated our life to nature. We are totally immersed in it." For Dubois, nature and art are deeply intertwined, and his devotion to both is total.
