SUMMARY
Photographer Thomas Savary immersed himself in the rural French town of Allanche to document its annual transhumance festival, a tradition where thousands gather to move Salers cattle to mountain pastures. Savary aimed to capture the living heritage and the connection between people, animals, and the land. Using the compact Sigma fp camera for mobility, he focused on intimate details and expressions, blending photojournalism with his art direction background. His resulting series, titled "L'estive," will be exhibited at the Les Rencontres d'Arles photography festival.
