Thomas Crauwels
Thomas Crauwels, one of the best mountain photographers of today, has been specialising in fine art mountain photography since 2010, specifically in the creation of black and white mountain images. Through his excursions and exhibitions, he has become recognised for creating some of the best mountain photography in the contemporary alpine world, capturing the ever-changing beauty of rock, ice, and sky in the high mountains.
Read MoreThe Alps, and the mountains in general, shift constantly, sometimes generous, sometimes threatening, but always majestic. Thomas’ work highlights mountain photography as a true art form; blending precise light, composition, and atmosphere to reveal the magic of the peaks. Each shot is carefully planned to convey the textures, moods, and emotions that the mountains inspire.
Through the meeting of mineral and sky and also taking into account the meteorological factor, his pictures allow him to express deep emotions, the ones that inhabit him when he contemplates these summits.
Today, his black and white photos of the Alps are widely recognised for their artistic aspect and for the emotions they emanate. But beyond the artistic and aesthetic aspect of his mountain photos, he feels invested in a mission for the planet. The degradation of our mountains and glaciers pushes him to use his artistic vision to follow the evolution of the Alps and to freeze these magical moments that our generation will still have the chance to admire. In this way, we will be able to pass on part of this heritage to future generations through his unique mountain photos. Taking over from the alpinist painters and photographers of the 18th and 19th centuries, he continues to immortalise the memories of the Alps, by creating timeless enduring works of mountain photography.
