Arctic White Poetry
My motivation in this very unique photographic trip was to feel the Arctic' stupendous wilderness, its purity, the silence and the quietness enveloping the icebergs.
I felt like in a dream for weeks, surrounded by such beauty, such daylight and such poetry.
I chose these five photographs because they suggest how magical natural light can be and how poetical gigantic icebergs might appear.
I then worked as a photographic assistant and photographer between Paris and London until 2007.
I moved back to Switzerland in 2007 to take a break from studio photography and specialized in trekking guiding in the Alps. Today I am a professional trekking guide, and it is my main income.
My photography was kind of re-borned in 2014 when I realized that nature's beauty is what makes me shiver with emotions. I decided to explore the poetry that is all around us in wild nature.
Today I only photograph if I feel something great. I explore very large format landscape photography (8x10) as well as old printing techniques like cyanotypes.
The pictures I selected for the NDAward are from my artistic residency in Arctic, Greenland last July and August. I am also currently preparing several exhibition my giant cyanotype work in Switzerland and France in 2020 and 2021

entry description
This selection of 5 photographs have all been taken during a one month immersion in Arctic, on a small sailing boat sailing north through Greenland's west costs' icebergs. We were in complete autonomy during the summer of 2018.My motivation in this very unique photographic trip was to feel the Arctic' stupendous wilderness, its purity, the silence and the quietness enveloping the icebergs.
I felt like in a dream for weeks, surrounded by such beauty, such daylight and such poetry.
I chose these five photographs because they suggest how magical natural light can be and how poetical gigantic icebergs might appear.
