Sometimes as a photographer you have certain motives in your head that you wish to capture. And sometimes these also come true. Especially in the mountains, a lot of patience and the right timing are required because you can’t control anything (and to be honest, even if you could, the pictures would only be half as special). Here we had just that kind of luck. The horses just moved from the lower part of the meadow to the top and walked along the lake at sunset. The moment lasted a few minutes and a series of truly dreamlike images was created as a result. That’s why the name too.

This photo is part of my Mountain Magic Collection.

In Switzerland, many horses are allowed to spend the summer on the Alp. They live there in larger herds and move freely over rocky slopes and through the forests. For a few months, they are allowed to be wild again. It is this freedom that I wanted to make tangible with this collection. None of the horses were positioned or influenced by humans for the photos. I simply connected with them using my camera, observed them, and waited. And I took photos in the appropriate moments.

When I look at the pictures today, I immediately return to that place above. I can feel the wind on my face and smell the fresh mountain herbs. I remember the cool air just before sunrise and the gentle chewing of the horses somewhere nearby. It is a tranquility that I can only feel in the mountains.

Every photo is a small piece of Alpsommer that you can take home with you. A picture that always reminds you of the freedom that is so natural up there.

Perhaps it is exactly this feeling that should find a place in your home.
