Nestled in the shadow of Mont Blanc, the alpine town of Chamonix is nothing short of a dream, and exactly the kind of place we build a reel around.
Whether you are chasing fresh powder at first light or the last of the sun off the glaciers, the town gives you two films at once: the mountain, vast and quiet, and the life happening at its base. We came to shoot both.
Mornings were for the slopes, long lens on the ridge line, drone holding back for the wide, and a body-mounted camera close on the board through the turns. The grade leans cold and clean so the snow keeps its blue.
By evening the story shifts down into the town: music, movement and warm interiors cut against the cold peaks. Pairing the two is what turns a location into a place a viewer wants to be.
