Valérie Derome-Massé is a French-Canadian photographer renowned for her intimate wildlife portraits and profound connection with nature. Based in Quebec, Canada, Valérie's journey into photography began during a sabbatical, where her deep love for mountains, nature, and especially animals led her to discover wildlife photography. This passion transformed into a vocation, allowing her to capture the essence of fauna in their natural habitats.

Valérie's photographic style is characterized by close-range shots that reveal the personality and emotions of her subjects. She often uses fixed lenses, such as the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, to achieve a soft, immersive look, especially in forest environments. Her approach emphasizes patience and respect, often spending extended periods observing animal behaviour to capture authentic moments.
