Headshot of Alexandre Buisse

I am a commercial mountain photographer with a double interest in adventure and landscape images. I am myself an avid practitioner of many mountain sports, especially climbing. My mountaineering gives me unique access to some of the wildest and most unique places on the planet, which I hope to share with others via my photography.

After spending the last few years in Scandinavia, I have recently relocated back to the French Alps, close to where I grew up. I do however spend most of my time traveling, chasing mountains wherever they happen to be hiding, and sometimes even managing to climb them. I am now permanently based in Chamonix, the Mecca of mountain sports in Europe.

Some other things you might want to know: I wrote two books on mountain photography to date and love teaching in general, in another life I completed doctoral studies in theoretical computer science and my life master plan includes spending a winter in Antarctica, making alpine first ascents, soloing big walls and eating a lot of cheese.
