Hi, I’m Zephani — the lens and heart behind Éblouissant Escapades.

I’m a travel and wildlife photographer, moved by light, texture, and feeling.

I didn’t pick up my camera to take pretty pictures — I picked it up to chase the pulse of a moment before it disappeared. To bottle up goosebumps, golden hour, and that breathless stillness right before the world shifts. Photography, for me, has never been about perfection — it’s about feeling everything, then freezing it. The light. The tension. The magic. I shoot to remember what most people forget to notice.

In the beginning, my work centered around milestones — portraits, events, joyful celebrations. They were beautiful in their own way, but I craved something messier, more raw. I wanted the quiet in-betweens, the unpolished edges, the mood that lingers after a place or a person has already moved on.

I feel most alive when I’m in motion — walking through fog-soaked forests, wandering old cities with no map, catching my reflection in an airplane window mid-thought. That’s where the stories live. Not in the obvious shots, but in the flickers of color, the unexpected stillness, the mood that slips in between footsteps and sky.

Travel photography cracked something open in me. It taught me how to see again — not just what’s in front of me, but what’s behind it, beneath it. I became obsessed with the shadows stretching across worn stone, the way warm light spills into alleyways, the texture of moments that don’t ask to be noticed. I’m drawn to that quiet poetry — to scenes that hum rather than shout.

Through Éblouissant Escapades, I’m building a visual journal of the places that changed me. I’m not chasing the perfect postcard — I’m chasing presence. This space is for stories told in mood, motion, and memory. For those who crave stillness in chaos. For those who want to feel the places they see.

So here’s your invitation — to slow down, to wander deeper, to travel through my lens. And maybe, to rediscover the kind of beauty that stays with you long after the shutter clicks.

Let’s wander, wonder, and capture it all — together.
