About the work
This is one of my favorite pieces of work from the Mont Blanc massif. I've been dreaming for years of capturing this photograph from this very special angle. It offers total immersion in a unique, magical world, revealing the singularities of each succeeding valley.
In the foreground, Le Chardonnet and the Col du Passon set the scene. Further on, the Argentière valley unfolds, dominated by its imposing north faces: the Courtes, the Droites and the Verte, each radiating imperious majesty. Behind these giants, Grandes Jorasses frames the Talèfre basin. Their ridge leads our gaze to the Dent du Géant in a striking play of light and shadow. In the distance, the silhouette of the Maurienne and Écrins mountains can be seen. On the right, Mont Blanc, the jewel of the French Alps, emerges from the clouds, flanked by its sturdy bastions: the Peuterey ridge and the Goûter.
I had to fly to an altitude of almost 5,000 metres to immortalize this moment. Opening the helicopter door, even for a few minutes, was a moment when my mind, troubled by the sudden altitude gain, began to waver. My beard froze. One thought kept coming back to me: "Concentrate, Thomas. Guide the pilot. This is a unique moment, you may never again have the chance to contemplate the massif in these conditions." For on that day, everything was lined up for an exceptional journey into the heart of the Mont Blanc massif and into the beyond.

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.
