Dear All,

As fall colours are gently coming to an end, the vegetable garden feeding us with its last vegetables, and the summits beginning to whiten from the approaching winter, I am pleased to share with you some fresh news from my photographic activity.

Winter Photo Workshops

The dates of the winter photo workshops are now available on my website.

"Discreet"

Grand Chavalard - 2901 m, Switzerland.

This season I have the great pleasure to propose a brand new winter workshop "Grande Dent de Morcle", based on two days of ski touring in the magnificent Muveran massif. Accompanied by a high mountain guide who is none other than my faithful friend Jérôme Gottofrey who has been accompanying the high mountain summer photo workshops for over 8 years now, we will leave from Ovronnaz, spend the night at the Fenestral hut and ascend the Grande Dent de Morcles (2969 m). Although a good level of skiing is recommended to fully enjoy the photographic aspect of the workshop, the overall rating of this ski tour is PD- (not difficult minus).

Full details of this new workshops is available here.

2023 Swiss Alps Calendar

The 2023 edition of my traditional Swiss Alps calendar is available here.

Book "Voice of the Eyes"

It is a great pleasure and honour for me to announce my contribution to the book Voice of the Eyes created and edited by René Algesheimer (www.rene-algesheimer.com).

Voice of the Eyes Voice of the Eyes is a unique collection of interviews with internationally renowned landscape photographers, collected by René, himself a talented landscape photographer. In his words, "These photographers are among those who have mastered their craft like no others and thus helped shape the discipline as a whole".

My congratulations to René for this brilliant project and his tireless commitment. I wish him and all the contributors every success.

More details about the book are available on my website here, or on the book’s official website voiceoftheeyes.com.

I wish you a great start to the winter season, good preparations for the festive season and beautiful lights.

Kind regards,

Samuel

Opening of the permanent art gallery MISE-EN-SCÈNE

One year ago, on December 1st, 2017, my partner Céline (Céline Jentzsch Photographie) and I opened our photographic art gallery EVANA in Crans-Montana for a winter season.
One year later, we are again in the euphoria of a new event of the same importance for our photographic and artistic journey.

I have the immense pleasure to announce the opening of the new art gallery MISE EN SCÈNE in Morges, on the shores of Lake Geneva..

It is in close collaboration with two other art creators of a different kind, the garden designers Julien and Laetitia Kellenberger, founders of the company Mise en Scène Création, that we have developed this project whose common values inspire us.

This space will be dedicated to our artistic work on a permanent basis to allow us to present new works on a regular basis. We will make you live here our next big project of a long trip on the road around the world, which is planned to start in 2019, through new exhibitions and video-conferences with our two slogans as a guiding thread: "Your Window over Nature" and "An Instant of Voyage".

For the launch of this gallery, we are pleased to be joined by two other talented artists, the sculptor Isabelle Thiltgès, and the photographer Jean-Matthieu Domon. I invite you to discover their work on their respective websites www.isabellethiltges.com and www.jeanmatthieudomon.com.

A huge thank you to all the actors of this beautiful realization. We are delighted that this wonderful artistic and human adventure will continue to grow.

I wish you a beautiful virtual discovery, but nothing beats a visit in person to appreciate the magic of this unusual place.

Yours sincerely,

Samuel
