« And so I was mixing shades and lights to turn it into a magnificent jewel of stone. »

« Here on bare grounds, the vast sky is luxurious and makes me dilute into a sensual wave passing through me like a long lasting shiver. »
Nathalie Hagenmuller
The high mountains and high altitude are part of a spectacular natural environment where elements play a game that is sometimes violent and often subtle, in between shades and lights, calm and stormy weather, horizontality and verticality.
Alike many climbers and mountain guides, I am dedicated to this little unusual world where you have “beginnings of the world” horizons, rare lights, bewitching lines of fleet or surprising forms materials. I also like sharing my experience with my roped party, roaming in low range mountains, and explorations of distant lands.
If my camera has always been a fellow to my numerous raids, it is only the years passing by that have turned my dedication to photography to something more important than the sports side of alpinism or the exoticism of the unknown places.
The aesthetic quest, the emotion of photo shooting and the sharing of it have gradually taken over my sports quest.
In my opinion photography is above all a beauty search, but it also an invitation to share a passion for mountains and wildlife as well as an humble way to help preserve as much as possible the fragile altitude universe.
