Telling stories without words —

Stay hungry for Rock n Roll

Two nights, two live performances. All in celebration of Black Bottle Riot's forthcoming new live album. I have been photographing the band regularly since 2008. And especially for this occasion they asked me to capture these two evenings for the artwork of this new album. Evenings with these guys never feel like work. They give me energy. Energy that will always keep me hungry for Rock n Roll.

In Oisans you can’t get too much winter

Nestled in the picturesque French department of Isère, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, lies Oz-en-Oisans. This picturesque village sits at an altitude of 1,650 meters with elevators reaching an altitude of 3,600 meters. Thus, it offers a beautiful setting with access to exciting alpine adventures.

One of its most notable features is Europe's largest skiable glacier, which promises endless thrills on the slopes. Oz-en-Oisans is the second oldest ski resort in France, after Chamonix, and thus has a rich history.

What sets Oz-en-Oisans apart is its claim to fame: the longest uninterrupted vertical run on the slopes in the world. This unparalleled experience attracts skiers and snowboarders from all over the world in search of the ultimate downhill run.

When the slopes close, head to the Dôme des Rousses for an unforgettable experience and take a final descent. Discover the work of a trail groomer at the summit at 2800 m and prepare before embarking on a final 1450 m descent from the Oz 3300 station. It is an enjoyable moment not to be missed.
