Trained as an illustrator, Stéphane Hette discovered photography by chance at 37 and for more than a decade, Stéphane has been photographing butterflies, but not only! For this he developed his own shooting technique, with the primary concern, the preservation of his living models. Fond of plants and insects, he now divides his time between his role as editor in the magazine Nat'images and that of author. Nourished by an insatiable curiosity and an intact passion for the nature that surrounds him, he tries to reveal all its poetry and fragile beauty.
He explores a nearby nature and rarely travels to make his images; ponds, forests, meadows or ponds of wet Champagne where he lives, are usually enough to fill it.
Stéphane’s approach is clear and visible at first glance: simply reveal the beautiful. Propose a poetic vision between art, graphics, science and nature.
This atypical work combining Asian inspiration and entomology has been rewarded many times and has given rise to exhibitions and publications around the world. Stéphane has directed or co-directed many books, most of which are also published in China.

His photos are published in several magazines such as Terre Sauvage, Chasseur d'Images, nat'images, le Figaro, Mankind and Nature (China), La Revue Française de photographie, the Bayard Press Group, Kaizen, La Salamandre (Swiss) ... Member of the OPIE* (France) and sponsor of the Lepidoptera Breeders Association (UK), Stéphane Hette protects and participates into the protection of the environnement and insects. He exhibits and publishes very often in France and abroad.

Stephane collaborates to the natural magazine "Nat' images" from the first day.   

His photos are represented not the gallery Blin plus Blin and participates in the promotion of the Canson trademark Infinity worldwide.
