Panoramic journey to the heart of the Massif

Summer sunrise over the Mont-Blanc massif in the French Alps. I took this impressive panoramic photograph of the Chamonix mountains from the Aiguilles Rouges massif. In front of us, the Mont-Blanc range rises like an impenetrable wall. Through the work, we can contemplate the entire massif. From the Aiguilles de Blaitière, du Plan and du Midi, visible on print in large format, to summit des Deux Bosses and the Dôme du Goûter. From an altitude of 4810 metres, Mont Blanc illuminates the picture, adorned with its resplendent glaciers, including those of Les Bossons and Taconnaz.

For this photograph to see the light of day, I had to be there when the first rays of sunlight illuminated the mountains. So I bivouacked in the middle of the mountains, waiting patiently for nature to reveal itself. During the night, snow covered the highest peaks summits. At daybreak, the Mont-Blanc massif suddenly emerged from the fog as the last clouds parted to make way for a magnificent summer's day. The magic of the moment when the mountain rises above a sea of clouds, sovereign of a celestial kingdom that makes me dream. The silhouette of Mont-Blanc reflects the richness of its history. Contrasting and powerful. This fantastic panorama takes us from the sharp silhouette of needles piercing the sky to the softer curves of summits dominating the horizon.
