About the work
Fascinating portrait of the Eiger, summit bernese alps , in Switzerland. The difficult conquest of its north face, during which several experienced mountaineers lost their lives, has made it infamous. In this picture, the Mittellegi ridge plays the leading role. It provides "easy" access to the Eiger's summit , from where you can contemplate the merciless verticality of its north face. Climbing this fabulous ridge is one of the projects I'd like to complete over the coming months.
Many attempts were made before I managed to complete this exceptional work. The elements had to come together in symbiosis for the photograph to be perfect. Here, the mountain emerges from a sea of clouds, the last traces of the storm it has just weathered. Hiding the bottom of the Eiger, this white shield seems to urge the mountain to pierce the sky with its sharp edge. The clouds hanging over summit mask the surrounding landscape. In an incredible perspective, the Eiger stands out from the landscape like an obelisk reaching for the sky. The freshly-plated snow on the colossus' walls gives it a regal, timeless dimension. The last essential element in the work is my position, at that unique moment when the magic happens. Precise and carefully considered, it gives the scene its perfect angle. With all the conditions in place, the art of photography can finally reveal the soul of this legendary summit . Portrait of the Eiger, whose personality is magnificently revealed here.

We were bowled over!
My wife and I are amazed at the quality of print and the rendering of this magnificent photo. We had waited many years to put a picture on this blank wall because we had never "flashed" on a piece of art. Now we've found it, and it fits in perfectly at the entrance to our apartment. What's more, it depicts 3 summits that are particularly close to our hearts: the Weisshorn, Dent Blanche and the Matterhorn - quite a symbol...
We'd like to thank you again for your impeccable service (rapid response to enquiries, hyper-realistic projection of the work on the photos of the wall beforehand). In short, we have nothing to complain about and look forward to seeing you at an opening.

We enjoy it every day!
As former inhabitants of Zermatt, it's hard to forget the Matterhorn, even in a new environment of mountains and nature.we discovered this large photo of the Matterhorn in a gallery, so strong and intense, it was impossible to forget it........ It became obvious that it should adorn our new apartment as a centerpiece.What's more, we had a very sympathetic contact with the artist, who came himself to deliver his work.It's very appreciable and adds a dimension to the object, to know its creator, his passion, the conditions under which it was taken.The texture of the photo resembles a painting, the lights play on it, Next the hours. It seems alive. A real daily pleasure!
