Matterhorn and Dent d'Hérens
alpine legends
About the work
I've been waiting for this moment for years. On the lookout for the lull that follows the sky's fury. Freshly frosted by recent precipitation, the Matterhorn and Dent d'Hérens reveal their innermost secrets. Clad in glittering frost armour, the summits rise from the chaos after overcoming the fury of the elements. From shadow to light, the lines reveal the depth of the landscape. I love the details that fresh snow reveals on the faces of the Matterhorn. I love the play of textures that shapes its flanks, the beauty of its ridges. When we contemplate these peaks, we are immediately fascinated by the timeless charisma of these two mountains. I love capturing these summits from this angle, as it magnifies the north and east faces of the Matterhorn, while exalting the slender silhouette of the Dent d'Hérens.
This photograph looks like something out of a dream. How could such places really exist in the heart of the Alps? How could nature have fashioned such a masterpiece? The picture inspires an irresistible desire to conquer these summits and discover every secret. For a fleeting moment, the Matterhorn and the Dent d'Hérens exult.
