Mountain activity

Angela Vanwiemeersch ascends Seventh Serpent (5.11+) in Long Canyon, on the outskirts of Moab, Utah. In achieving this unique lighting of the crack, I was able to rig a series of LED light tapes to accentuate the rock's formation.

"Digital Crack" is the highest located sportclimbing line in Europe, graded 8a, on the Arete des Cosmiques rock spire. Michał Czech is climbing this picturesque line on the orange granite monolith in the dawn. Climbing the thin, sharp granite crimps on this route at 4 am, at an altitude 3800 m above the sea level was quite a challenge, but the spectacle of the light was worth our devotion.

This is one of my favorite drone shots. It shows professional freeride skier Sandra Lahnsteiner being followed by filmer Alexander Rydén with a 360 degree camera mounted on top of a long carbon boom, drawing their lines in fresh powder snow between the shadows of the surrounding hills.

Walking through a foggy forest at dawn, we were surprised by the sun's rays that seem to try to show us the path to follow. Our target: the "Iraule corridor", a summit in the Aitzgorri mountain range.

Iceland in mid winter and climbing inside its glaciers meant few daylight hours and severe weather. Hard ice and at the same time fragile as glass. A storm covered in snow the huge frozen block, which we were climbing. I knew there was good composition from behind. The light was fading. Focused and concentrated I rappelled and climbed a block from where I shot with very high ISO.

Lone mountaineer walking towards his alpine goal on a hard winter day. The big blizzard with those shapes created by the wind on the snow, give a special atmosphere to the image helping to compose it. The wind speed along with the low temperatures of about -20º C make it very difficult to photograph.

Alpinist fighting against the weather adversities in a very hard winter day with explosive cyclogenesis. The imposing winds of more than 100 km/h, which hardly allowed us to stand, coupled with the very low temperatures of less than 15 degrees below zero, made it very difficult to take pictures.
