An alpine idyll in large format

Lake Lucerne is the heart of the Swiss Confederation. Multifaceted are the moods and landscapes that define the lake with its countless basins and bays, ringed by the ever-widening circles of the awe-inspiring mountains.

In an astonishingly cogent sequence of images the photographer creates a comprehensive portrait of the lake. Sometimes the eye of the camera is just above water level; at others it rises above the surrounding mountains to capture bird’s-eye views. Encompassing everything from storm-driven waves and clouds to peaceful meadows and forests, the photographs provide an incomparably rich visual record of a uniquely beautiful landscape.
