For this report, which he produced in the summer of 2023 with journalist Alexis Riopel, Valérian Mazataud reconnected with the field of marine biology in which he worked around twenty years ago. For three days, he sailed aboard the scientific vessel Coriolis II, whose mission was to check the health of the river, estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence, as well as the Saguenay Fjord. It was at this last location that this photo was taken, when the winds and rain had given way to a moment of calm. On the bridge, we can observe the photographer dressed in red who carefully manipulates the drone that allowed this photo to be captured. He says he felt nervous, given that he was using the machine in the field for the first time. Valérian Mazataud Le Devoir
