About the work
In the bernese alps, Mont Gond rises 2,710 metres above Derborence in the Valais. Situated between Les Diablerets and the Rhône valley, this summit reveals an unsuspected beauty when the conditions align perfectly.
I usually photograph giants over 3,000 metres, but on this particular day, Mont Gond deserved my full attention. The recent storm had completely transformed it, plastering its face with a blanket of snow that revealed every detail of its structure.
Our eyes discover the mountain's geological strata, highlighted by this fresh snow. Each layer tells the story of its formation, creating an open book spanning millions of years. Textures respond to each other: the powdery softness of the snow contrasts with the roughness of the rock, while the surrounding clouds caress the rocky flanks.
This pure ambience reveals the authentic personality of Mont Gond. Shapes are refined, contours sharpened, transforming the mountain into an imposing giant. The diffused light unifies the whole, creating a monochrome harmony where only shades of white and grey outline the landscape.
I wanted to pay tribute to these lesser-known summits that deserve our attention. In the end, beauty is measured in more than just size. In the purity of winter, Mont Gond reveals a grandeur that rivals the highest summits in the Alps.

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!

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.
