Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2017 (amateur)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I was thinking about this place where I went 3 years ago and I had definitelly the wish to return. This place is near a hunt in the middle of Alps, in Switzerland.
End of June after a heat wave, the snow was back to the high altitude. The first July, I decided to go back, I hoped fresh snow on the rock and cloudy day. The weather forecast was what I wished. The really was a little bit different.
I started to hike in the mist without visibility, but finally I reached the hunt "cabane de Trient" (3170m). I waited 10minutes and start to shot, after few shots I finally got the one I wanted.
This mountains chain is "Aiguilles dorées" named like this for the colour they could have during the sunset. I like this mountains and the way they literally rise from the glacier.
AUTHOR
Born in la Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, 22.07.1989.
In 2009, passionate about photography, he acquired his first camera.
Few years later, he had an active period in the live photography field. He obtained accreditations for various music festivals in Switzerland. With a self-taught training in film developing, he enjoys from time to time working with an analog Hasselblad medium format camera. Over the past years he has explored news topics such as street photography and individual portrait. However, he started to perceive photography differently, in a simpler way.
In 2016, he leaves his reflex camera and imposing zoom lenses for a telemetric Leica and some fixed focal lenses.
Landscape photography stays his favorite subject. He photographs the beauty of lake and mountain, in color or monochrome, by day or by night. Looking for new landscapes, new points of view but also new challenges: mountain is a passion that he lives through photography but also through sport, hiking, mountaineering and skiing.
