Alpine Exposures

Der Bildband «Alpine Exposures» wird geniale Bilder vom Alpin- und
Eisklettern zeigen, alle in echten Situationen aufgenommen und nicht gestellt
oder nachempfunden. Vom Eiger bis zum Mont Blanc werden inspirierende Fotos
das Buch prägen.

Der Alpinist und Fotograf Jon Griffith lebt in Chamonix und verbringt so viel
Zeit wie möglich in den Bergen. Ob haarsträubende Aktionen mit Speed-Alpinist
Ueli Steck oder ein Photo-Shoot für den Katalog eines Ausrüstungshersteller –
Jon fotografiert die Berge so, wie es nur ein leidenschaftlicher Kletterer
kann.

In Alpine Exposures, mountain sports photographer Jon Griffith presents over
ten years of breathtaking photography in the Western Alps. Written in English,
French and German languages, and with a foreword by leading alpinist Ueli
Steck, Alpine Exposures takes the reader on a tour of cutting edge climbs deep
in the heart of the Alps› most celebrated mountains.

True to Jon’s work ethic the book only shows photos taken in real situations
in order to offer readers an in-depth experience of the world of extreme
mountain sports. Featuring shots from around the European Alps from the Eiger
North Face to Mont Blanc, there are detailed captions accompanying every shot
– there is a real focus here on inspirational photography not just eye candy.
Scattered throughout the book are longer photo essays that showcase big or
classic climbs and that deserve more than just one photo.

The book is a photographic guide to the Alps› most beautiful climbs, ski
descents, and flying terrains, and will inspire the reader to add a few more
climbs/descents to their tick list.

Over the last ten years, Jon Griffith has established himself as one of the
world’s leading mountain sports photographers. A highly accomplished alpinist,
he continues to push himself to shoot that which has never been shot before.
This approach has taken his climbing and photography to a level that sees him
regularly work with climbers such as Ueli Steck and embark on cutting edge
ascents in the Alps, Patagonia, Alaska and the Himalaya.
