Magnificent black-and-white photography of the Finsteraarhorn, an emblematic summit in the bernese alps rising to 4274 meters above sea level. Its sharp summit elegantly pierces the sky. The Finsteraarhorn is linked to the Agassizhorn by its ridge. In the distance, you can make out the silhouette of the Matterhorn.

I captured this portrait of the Finsteraarhorn in 2019, after an exceptional storm that generously covered the summit with fresh snow. Its new finery emphasizes the remarkable diagonal lines of its face and finely reveals the precise contours, raw texture of the rocks and expressive power of the mountain. Thus clad, the Finsteraarhorn is transformed into an impressive pyramid with sharp edges. Indomitable and Powerful, it seems to defy the immensity of the sky from its realm. The snow, with its delicate contrasts, magnifies its imposing beauty and brings an unexpected softness to the image. I love the serenity that emanates from this scene. I love contemplating the Matterhorn, which here adds depth to the work. It appears like a tiny pyramid, because of its remoteness. It's a graceful moment when time stands still to offer us this alpine photograph.

Through this striking portrait, I offer you a doorway to the infinite. An invitation to journey into the fascinating world of the high mountains.
