It begins with passion and an idea

Chamonix Perspectives is a landscape photography book with Chamonix as its epicenter. The book also addresses climate change as it is seen in the mountains. It is not a lecture on mountain climate change science, but rather a recounting of the daily experiences, worries, and reflections from people whose livelihoods depend on what happens in the near future.

The idea was created from a love to the mountains and a deep concern about the profound impact of climate change we see in mountains … plus thousands of images caught through decades walking, skiing, and climbing in the Alps.

The book’s publishing has been a purely privately funded initiative with assistance from several photography and book professionals.
