This is a collection of various mountaineering pictures I have done either for myself or for various clients. Moutaineering and mountains both have a really special place in my work.
Freeriding is a discipline of skiing that appeared in the 80ies. Being in Chamonix, I was lucky enough to be at the forefront to follow this new wave of riders.
Snowboard made an appearance on the scene in the 80ies. As a young photographer, I met nearly all the top riders who introduced me to their peers.
Marco was an exceptionnal snowboarder and climber. Even though he died at the age of 23, he is up there with the greatest, including his mentor, Jean-Marc Boivin.
When Alain Hubert invited me in 2000 to participate in a mountaineering expedition in Antarctica as his photographer, it was a dream come true. Antarctica, here I come.
Jean-Marc was living in Chamonix with his family. I got to know him and was his photographer for about 10 years, before his tragic accident in 1990.
