I want to reconnect with Nature. Rediscovering the place I grew up, the landscape I've seen hundreds of times. These trees are not far from home, I'm fortunate to see them evolving through the seasons and how light and weather affect them. I went out as soon as the rain stopped to see those trees to see how they were in the fog. The dandelions gave a very nice texture to the foreground the cows were just under the two trees. The scene was too good to be ignored, so I took my cameras out of my bag and started shooting. It was quiet, I could only hear the cows with their bells and that was it. I choose the infrared 590 nm filter to translate the peaceful mood of that day. Keeping the original colors, blue for the grass and orange/pink for the sky, I created an image that fits very well with the feeling I had on location. Infrared allows me to interpret a scene in a new light. It can be a challenging technique, but it truly allows my creativity to speak in a brand-new way.

This interactive piece invites the viewer to experience the changing moods of nature. The image shows the rugged peaks of the Gastlosen, a stunning mountain range in the Swiss Prealps. Known for its dramatic limestone cliffs and jagged formations, this location is a perfect stage for nature's play of light. By moving your mouse or finger over the image, you can control the light, slowly revealing how it illuminates the scene. The first image starts without sunlight, and the last one captures the light fully illuminating the landscape. This work reflects the moment I often experience while on location, camera ready, waiting for the light to break through the clouds and bring the landscape to life. It’s that magical feeling when the light finally touches the scene, and the photograph comes alive. The striking red color of the plants and trees is not an editing trick, but the result of using an infrared chrome filter. This filter is inspired by the iconic Kodak Aerochrome film, which was originally developed for military use to detect camouflage, but became famous for its unique ability to turn greenery into vibrant shades of red. This technique allows me to create an otherworldly atmosphere directly during the shoot, capturing the landscape in a way that emphasizes the interplay between light, color, and nature.

During a hike in Zermatt, my wife and I walked along a narrow path beside a deep abyss. The landscape was peaceful yet powerful, with the turquoise water below creating a strong contrast against the rough terrain. The scene felt quiet and almost unreal, as if we were standing on the edge of something infinite, I wish I could go back!

The tree roots twist and tangle like the veins of the earth, reaching deep into the ground. Their shapes are rough and intricate, giving an almost alien feel, like something out of a Giger artwork. These roots seem alive, as if they are part of a larger, hidden system beneath the surface, carrying life through the land. The black-and-white tones add to the eerie, yet fascinating look of the scene.
