about the work
Epic journey to the heart of the Imperial Crown of Zinal, on the border between val d’Anniviers and the valley of Zermatt. In this black and white photograph, two mythical summits of the Swiss Alps rise in majesty. In the foreground, the slender silhouette of the Zinalrothorn, culminating at an altitude of 4221 meters, reminds me of the famous Needles of Chamonix. The image highlights the Rothorn ridge and the normal route, the easiest way to reach the summit, two magnificent routes popular with mountaineers. In the background, the imposing Weisshorn dominates the whole massif from its 4506 meters of altitude. On this picture, its three ridges are superbly drawn. On the left, its incredible northern ridge crosses the Grand Gendarme, perfectly aligned with the summit of the Zinalrothorn. In the center, the Schaligrat reveals itself between light and shadow. Climbing it remains one of the most beautiful adventures to which the Alps invite us. On the right, entirely plastered with snow, appears the normal route leading to summit.I made this exceptional panorama in winter, when the mountain was prey to the unpredictable and violent effects of a foehn storm. When such a phenomenon breaks over the Italian border of the Alps, the meteorologists are helpless and their forecasts are imprecise. So, all I have to do is believe with all my might and try my luck at summits. To go there, to wait, to hope, to bend my back and to persevere until that happy day when nature finally agrees to reveal its absolute beauty. This is the daily lot of the mountain photographer. And this is also why I love my job. A perpetual adventure, punctuated by the unexpected and connected to nature, which leads to the highlighting of wonderful and timeless moments that only the high mountains have the secret.
I dreamed of this magical moment for several years. I was burning to immortalize these legendary mountains. The Zinalrothorn like a sharp needle cutting through the clouds to reach the sky. The Weisshorn, a natural pyramid with a perfect aesthetic dominating the air. Each of its three sides has a span of more than 1000 meters. The undisputed master of the Imperial Crown, it elegantly unfolds its mantle of light and shadow. How can one remain insensitive to such a masterpiece of nature! The dramatic intensity that emerges from the painting is incredible. I love the powerful and deep contrasts that sculpt this portrait. And the striking balance of the two summits brings serenity and strength to the photograph.
