Description

This interactive piece invites the viewer to experience the changing moods of nature. The image shows the rugged peaks of the Gastlosen, a stunning mountain range in the Swiss Prealps. Known for its dramatic limestone cliffs and jagged formations, this location is a perfect stage for nature's play of light. By moving your mouse or finger over the image, you can control the light, slowly revealing how it illuminates the scene. The first image starts without sunlight, and the last one captures the light fully illuminating the landscape. This work reflects the moment I often experience while on location, camera ready, waiting for the light to break through the clouds and bring the landscape to life. It’s that magical feeling when the light finally touches the scene, and the photograph comes alive. The striking red color of the plants and trees is not an editing trick, but the result of using an infrared chrome filter. This filter is inspired by the iconic Kodak Aerochrome film, which was originally developed for military use to detect camouflage, but became famous for its unique ability to turn greenery into vibrant shades of red. This technique allows me to create an otherworldly atmosphere directly during the shoot, capturing the landscape in a way that emphasizes the interplay between light, color, and nature.
