Background informations about the 'Snow' project
Peter MATHIS is known for his beautiful mountain scenes and in this photo book, 'Schnee' (engl.: Snow), captures the essence of snow in black and white. These breathtaking duotone images transform a traditional alpine landscape into picturesque canvases that are alternately otherworldly, sensual, haunting and heavenly. The tracks of the skiers zigzag through the powder and the windswept snow waves like desert sand.

The images are flawlessly reproduced in large format and offer an enormous range of colors, from the deepest black to the most flawless white and every conceivable tone in between. The photographs by Peter MATHIS are reminiscent of the works of Ansel ADAMS and Edward WESTON and are a perfect reminder of the biting cold, the blazing sun, the deep shadows and the blinding lights that make the Alps a uniquely beautiful landscape and snow a mighty force of nature do. Experience the endless types of snow in the Alps through the lens of the famous Austrian landscape photographer Peter MATHIS.
