Thomas Crauwels Author

Thomas Crauwels is an award-winning photographer and mountaineer. He lives in Switzerland, and specialises in capturing black and white mountain images of the high peaks of the Swiss and French Alps. Born in the low-lands of Belgium, and a computer engineer by trade, he discovered Switzerland a bit by chance and decided to settle there, caught up in the taste for adventure and his irrepressible attraction to the Alps. His passion for, and fascination with, high-mountain environments is captured in his imagery of rock and ice. He is considered to be one of the major artists of the contemporary Alpine landscape. Vivian Bruchez is a steep slope skier and high mountain guide in Chamonix, France.
