Selection of the most beautiful photo-paintings of Mont Blanc:
Chamonix, Argentière, Aiguille du Midi and Mer de Glace
This collection brings together photo prints related to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc and its valley. It highlights the landscapes observed from Chamonix, Les Praz, Argentière, Le Brévent, La Flégère, Les Grands Montets, Montenvers, and Aiguille du Midi. Les Drus, Aiguille Verte, Mer de Glace, and Mont Blanc appear here in their direct relationship with the valley, villages, and main Chamonix viewpoints.
Each photo print is made to order in France on matte Dibond aluminum. The matte finish limits reflections and preserves the readability of the peaks, glaciers, and high mountain contrasts indoors.
