Renowned for his gorgeous mountain scenes and spectacular photos of
winter athletes, Peter Mathis has chosen black and white film to
capture the essence of snow in this book. These stunning duotone
images render a traditional Alpen landscape into painterly canvases
that are in turns otherworldly, sensuous, haunting, and heavenly.
Skiers' tracks zig and zag through the powder and windswept waves
of snow undulate like desert sand. Impeccably reproduced in large,
full-bleed format, these images showcase an enormous palette, from
the deepest black to the most immaculate white, and every
imaginable tone in between. Mathis' texts recall the instances of
each shot, many of which require days of trekking through mountains
with nearly fifty pounds of equipment strapped to his back.
Reminiscent of the works of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, Mathis's
photographs perfectly evoke the biting cold, blazing sun, deep
shadows, and blinding lights that make the Alps a uniquely
beautiful landscape and snow a powerful force of nature.
