🏆 #1 - Sunset over the snow-covered Chartreuse mountains
My absolute best-seller of 2025 : this image receives the most compliments and is one of my clients' favorites.
The story behind this photo
This image was captured from the Grand Revard (Bauges, Savoie) during an exceptional winter evening. The three iconic peaks of the Chartreuse — Chamechaude, Dent de Crolles and Mont Granier — were perfectly aligned, bathed in a golden alpenglow light.
Shooting conditions
- Time: 5:15 PM, 20 minutes before sunset
- Temperature: -8°C
- Settings: ISO 200, f/8, 1/160s
- Equipment: 70-200mm telephoto lens to compress the shots
Why is this painting so popular in 2025?
The pinkish-orange alpenglow against the pristine snow creates a warm and soothing atmosphere. The three peaks form a balanced composition, and the low-angled light reveals all their contours. It's the perfect image to bring a touch of elegant mountain style into a living room or bedroom.

🥈 #2 - Train on the Landwasser Viaduct, Switzerland
The Landwasser Viaduct is one of the most photographed railway structures in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This photo print is one of my best-selling 2025 titles.
The story behind this photo
I captured this image during a trip to the Swiss canton of Grisons , while waiting for the red train on the Albula line to pass. Timing was crucial: the train only runs hourly, and the light had to be perfect.
Shooting conditions
- Season: Autumn, golden foliage
- Time: 3:30 PM, soft side lighting
- Settings: ISO 400, f/11, 1/500s (to freeze the train)

Why is this painting so popular?
The combination of monumental architecture (the 65-meter-high viaduct) and alpine nature creates a timeless image. The red train adds a touch of vibrant color. It's a scene that evokes adventure, travel, and alpine engineering.
