LPA Photographers / River Thompson / The Pyrenees

LPA Photographer River is known for his beautiful travel stories and images often taken in exotic far flung places. This recent personal project taken in the Pyrenees is no exception!

Working with Pyrenean Mountain Guide Norbert Talazac, River captured these snowy images around Pic du Taillon and Gavarnie, which are famous spots in the Mountaineering scene.

River was keen to learn more Mountaineering skills so he could, in the future, capture more images in these often treacherous areas while mountaineering similar terrain. His guide, Norbert, is a local legend on the scene, the pair worked together over 3 days, ice climbing, studying avalanches and learning about snow theory!

The days were long and River says that it was quite intense capturing images hundreds of meters up while climbing a mixture of rock, snow and ice waterfalls!

Stunning work River!
