Photo print of the trailer in the Contamines-Montjoie valley

A wooden caravan rests in an open meadow in the Contamines-Montjoie valley. Its warm volume stands out among grasses and alpine meadows, while the mountain relief extends the scene and immediately places this unusual subject in its alpine environment. The open door reveals the bed, while red chairs sit in the grass. These details make the dwelling tangible in front of the broad snow-covered range in the background. The photograph is built on this encounter of scales: the threshold and furniture invite a close look at the subject, then the lawn leads toward the open mountain behind the caravan.

The eye-level framing creates a direct relationship with the caravan without isolating it from the landscape. The browns of the wood answer the greens of the meadow, and the softness of the lines contrasts with the more pronounced slopes in the background. The whole scene conveys a rural, calm and authentic atmosphere.

Les Contamines lies in Val Montjoie in Haute-Savoie, at the foot of the Mont-Blanc massif. The commune brings together villages, forests, torrents and high-altitude meadows; a large part of its territory belongs to the national nature reserve of Contamines-Montjoie.

This photo print of a caravan in the Contamines-Montjoie valley combines light habitat and alpine landscape. Made-to-order printing on matte aluminium Dibond preserves the natural colours of the wood, grasses and mountains.
