My YouTube Channel: Alpine Landscapes, Behind the Scenes & Animations
In addition to my photo paintings of the Alps , I created a YouTube channel to share my passion for the mountains in a different format: video.
On my channel, you'll discover moving alpine landscapes , behind-the- scenes glimpses of my photo outings , animations created with artificial intelligence , and tips for photographing the mountains. A natural extension of my work as a mountain photographer .
Why a YouTube Channel?
Bringing Alpine Landscapes to Life
While photography freezes a moment , video tells a story . On YouTube, I can share:
- The movement of clouds over the mountain peaks
- The changing light of a sunrise or sunset
- The soundscape of the mountains (wind, waterfalls, silence)
- Behind the scenes of my hikes and photo outings
- The creative process behind my images
Sharing My Photography Experience
Through my videos, I hope to:
- Inspiring mountain lovers
- Sharing my passion for the Alps
- Advising photographers, whether beginners or experienced
- Show the realities on the ground (weather, effort, patience)
- Creating a community around alpine photography

3. Animations Created with AI
I experiment with new technologies to bring my photos to life:
Techniques used:
- Photo animation : Subtle movement of clouds and water
- Parallax effect : 3D depth from a 2D photo
- Smooth transitions : Between several photos of the same place
- Scene creation : Adding elements (falling snow, fog)
These animations allow you to rediscover my photos from a new and creative perspective.

- Photography techniques : Sunrise/sunset settings, snow management
