Description

Wonderful crossing of the Grandes Jorasses which, from the Torino hut, leads us through the Dent du géant and the Dôme de Rochefort to the Pointe Walker. summit the highest point of the ridge, it culminates at 4208 meters of altitude. On this route which winds between earth and sky, our spirit ventures into the heart of the Mont-Blanc massif, on the border between France and Italy. This fabulous photograph, a symbol of the grandeur of the Alps, is one of my favorite works.

I made this portrait in winter, when a storm has just frosted the rock faces. The clouds swirl around, revealing the summits at times before disappearing again. Illuminated by the sun, the snow shines with an ephemeral purity. At this precise moment, the elements unite to give life to a profound and powerful work that arouses so many emotions.

On this photograph of Grandes Jorasses, I wanted to highlight the incredible beauty that nature offers us. A superposition of peaks and lines that intersect and link, guiding our gaze throughout this sublime crossing. The angle of view of the scene as well as the contrasts, soft and silvery, nourish this amazing odyssey. An unreal journey beyond the world to discover these legendary mountains that emerge from the mist like an island rising from the waves.

The moment is unique and I know that I can only relive it through this image. Precious photography that allows us to enjoy our most beautiful adventures. It took me a lot of patience and perseverance to capture the soul of the mountain. It is rare that nature reveals so much splendor to us and I have to be constantly on the lookout to succeed in immortalizing it. I am extremely happy to be able to present this work to you. I never tire of contemplating it. With each glance it is discovered differently. Exploring new horizons, I draw my inspiration from it.
