Dramatic black and white long exposure of Alpine mountain peak with streaking clouds over Lake Montriond in the French Alps France — French Alps in Monochrome

France

Lake Montriond, French Alps. Long exposure turns those clouds into streaks while the mountain stands eternal. Black and white felt right for this one—it's about the drama of sky and stone, not color. Sometimes monochrome strips a scene down to its essence and shows you what really matters. Photo © copyright by Michael Schultz.

I'm Michael Schultz, an Alaska-born landscape and wildlife photographer whose company, Face The Outdoors, has been featured in National Geographic. Over 20 years of shooting Alaska taught me to read light, weather, and wildlife — and now I lead small-group workshops sharing what I've learned, from Lake Clark's coastal bears to the aurora in Fairbanks to the autumn Dolomites.

The images I capture in the field end up here — available as museum-quality fine art prints in sizes and finishes to suit any wall. ChromaLuxe® metal, Lumachrome/Trulife® acrylic, and archival papers, crafted with the same materials used in gallery and collector editions.
