Exposition

2023 11 | Foyer rural de Giffaumont-Champaubert

The title of the exhibition “Secret Alps” refers to my first photo book of 2014, which is now out of print. The intention is to show iconic mountain animals in their huge and majestic setting. “A silhouette that invites the viewer to mystery and contemplation. » “A majestic decor that puts the subject on its scale, in its place. » “Unusual images, often difficult to capture, with this atmosphere that I love so much, sometimes dark and captivating, sometimes refined and serene. » Chamois, eagles, ibex, bearded vultures, grouse… are the protagonists of this large format exhibition, with the Alps, cradle of my creativity, as a common thread. The exhibition consists of 14 large format. Fine Art prints are printed on Hanehmulhe PhotoPearle 310g and laminated on 2mm dibond. Two of the images in the exhibition have won a first photographic prize since 2020 in the “Mountain” and “Wild Nature” categories.
