Samuel Hoppe - NIVAL

'NIVAL' is a collection of photographs taken by Samuel Hoppe between 2019 and 2023 in the French Alps, the Pyrenees, and the Jotunheimen (Norway). Photographed in the higher elevations of these different mountain ranges, the subjects are stark and desolate, at once forbidding, alien, and sublime. The sweeping, panoramic vistas of peaks, snowy landscapes, and rock-strewn slopes fill page after page, a formidable portrait of the grandiose power and limitless scale of geological time. With graphic design by Julien Hourcade.
