Spring in the Swiss Alps is a breathtaking spectacle, and every year it offers a new experience. Over the past ten years, my exploration of Switzerland’s alpine regions has been an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Among the many wonders I have encountered, I am most captivated by the ever-changing dance of clouds and glaciers atop the rugged peaks.

This interplay of movement and stillness, of soft mists and solid ice, creates scenes that are as dynamic as they are timeless.

Capturing the intricate details of these glacial landscapes requires precision in both technique and equipment. To preserve the sharpness and texture of the ice, I use short exposure times that freeze the subtle motion of the clouds and emphasize the glaciers’ unyielding nature. Filters, particularly a polarizer and a 3-stop ND filter, allow me to manage reflections and control the light, highlighting the depth and richness of my images. These tools not only help reduce glare on the ice but also balance the light in high-contrast scenes, ensuring that the glaciers’ intricate patterns are rendered with clarity and nuance.

To emphasize these details even further, I chose to photograph the glaciers in black and white. By eliminating the distraction of color, the raw textures and stark contrasts take center stage. This minimalist approach reveals the true character of the glaciers—their deep crevices, jagged ridges, and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow. It is remarkable how much more becomes visible when nature’s vibrant colors recede, allowing the story of the ice to unfold in its purest form.
