Mario Colonel has two passions in life: the Alps and photography. For 30 years now, he has been travelling the roof of Europe to immortalise the mountains and the people. His base camp is Chamonix, in the heart of the Alps. It’s here that he has set up his laboratory and gallery. This summer, Mario went on a photo expedition in the Alps, around the Aiguille du Midi. Alongside him were two professional mountaineers, whom he photographed in some of the most impressive places: crevasses, Rochefort ridge, Dent du Giant, crossing the Vallée Blanche… The image hunter takes us through the demands of his job, managing the dangers and bivouacking in the high mountains.
