About Documentary Photography
Documentary photography records the Alps as they are, observing places, people and everyday moments without staging or embellishment. From mountain villages and working landscapes to glaciers, transport and seasonal life, these photographs explore the character of alpine regions through careful observation.
The articles in this collection combine photography with written narrative to document the changing landscapes and cultures of the Alps. Rather than seeking dramatic or idealised views, they focus on the details, histories and experiences that give each place its identity.
Published between 2016 and 2026, these features form a visual record of journeys across Switzerland, France, Italy and beyond. Together they document an alpine landscape shaped by nature, history and the people who continue to live and work within it.
Documentary photography is central to Super Alpine, reflecting a commitment to recording the Alps with honesty and curiosity, creating an archive that values authenticity over spectacle.
