I shot this new series on location above Grindelwald, Switzerland and in Chamonix, France. It’s an idea that I came upon whilst reading ‘Mountains of my Life’ by seminal alpinist Walter Bonatti. The saying goes that black crows (choucas) are the souls of climbers lost to the mountains.

Our studio was made extra serene last week when a monk came to join us for the day. The smell of jasmine filled the air and sounds of Buddhist chanting made for a very relaxing shoot.
Here we see our subject perfecting the art of yogic flying.

Thinking of ways to start the new book it seemed appropriate to use a brain…. a big plastic one !

Coming to your desk soon ! Call of the yeti. It took me all my powers of persuasion to get my girlfriend into the yeti suit… standing on the cable car is another story though…

The Mer de Glace glacier under Mont Blanc is full of crevasses. We had to ‘rope up’ the yeti to be sure it didn’t disappear through a weak snow bridge. What you can’t see here is the rope leading to a very sturdy mountain guide with his ice axe buried deep enough to arrest a fall. The Mer de Glace area its self isn’t that remote, it’s serviced by Europe’s highest cable car Call of the Yeti – Plan de l’Aiguille which transports tourists to the top of the Aiguille di Midi and the mountaineers who come to explore the Mont Blanc Massif . On our journey back to the cable car we passed a few groups of alpinists. We were all roped up so as not to fall off anything. Martha chose to leave the yeti costume on for warmth…… it looked like the mythical yeti had finally been caught !
