During the end of this year, the city of Lausanne set up a light festival. This piece of art is called “Flux Cocoon”, it is based on LED wrapped around the Grand Pont. Around the city you can enjoy ten installations and discover the city with another point of view. Shot in Place de l’Europe, Lausanne, Switzerland.

On the 24th November 1973, a DC-3 of the United States Navy ran out of fuel and crash-landed. There were no fatalities. After a few researches on the net and with the use of a GPS device my friend and I located this plane wreck. A great adventure. Shoot on SĂłlheimasandur beach (N63 27.547 W19 21.891), South Iceland.
I organise an expedition to climb my first 4k (4000), we choose the Wiessmies (4017 m) above Saas-Grund, Switzerland. Five of my friends and I woke up at 4 o’clock in the morning to reach the top. The target was to be back to the hut before 12 o’clock. It was a huge success and everybody were proud of their efforts and glad at the end.
I spend some of my free time for an association for the promotion of the alternative music scene in Lausanne. I shoot pictures, they give me beers and free entry. Not a bad deal.

Another experiment in long exposure night shot with a friend of mine. Unfortunately it was not a starry night. Nevertheless, this standing structure in the border of the lake catch our attention. Shot in the Parc du SĂ©laz, St-Prex, Switzerland.
There is always a special atmosphere during the night. After a few beers, a friend of mine and I went this saturday night in St-Sulpice, Vaud, Switzerland. We try to catch this unique ambiance. Comparing to my last picture, it was more difficult to catch the stars, to much light from the other side of lake. It was a good experience anyway.
Last saturday, my father and I woke at 2 in the morning in Arolla to climb up the Col de Riedmatten (2919 m) in Valais, Switzerland. My goal was to capture this unique atmosphere.
