25 September 2008 - Launch of the book « nouveaux regards sur les Alpes »

Gathering the work of four young photographers Antoine Berger, Vincent Favre, Xavier Jamonet and myself, with texts from Anthony Serex, this book offers a visual journey of the beautiful and fragile alpine landscapes.


«(...) Baroudeurs tutoyant les sommets, perfectionnistes, soucieux du détail, de l’équilibre, des lumières, ils ont une approche moderne et exigeante de leur métier.

Available from all the main French and Swiss street bookstores as well as the main online stores such as Amazon.
Note that this book is currently only available in French.
