Dent du Géant - Grandes Jorasses
Celestial crossing
About the work
I took this portrait in winter, when a storm had just frosted the rock faces. The clouds swirl around, at times revealing summits before disappearing again. Illuminated by the sun, the snow shines with ephemeral purity. At this precise moment, the elements unite to give life to a profound and powerful work that evokes so many emotions.
In this photograph of Grandes Jorasses, I wanted to highlight the incredible beauty that nature has to offer. A superimposition of peaks and lines that intersect and intertwine, guiding our gaze along this sublime journey. The angle of the scene and the contrasts, Soft and silver, fuel this astonishing odyssey. An unreal journey beyond the world to discover these legendary mountains that emerge from the mist like an island rising from the waves.
The moment is unique, and I know I can only relive it through this image. A precious photograph that allows us to enjoy our most beautiful adventures. It took a great deal of patience and perseverance to capture the soul of the mountain in this way. It's rare that nature reveals so much splendor to us, and I have to be constantly on the lookout to succeed in immortalizing it. I'm extremely happy to be able to present this work to you. I never tire of contemplating it. Each time I look at it, I discover something new. Exploring new horizons, I draw my inspiration from it.
