I’m Eli Meerson, a landscape photographer based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.

Most of the photographs here come from long treks: days or weeks on routes like the Via Alpina, the Walker’s Haute Route, the GR5 and the Tour du Mont Blanc, usually camping high and carrying everything I need. The places in these pictures rarely have names. They’re the ones you only reach by walking: a tarn below a ridge an hour after sunrise, fog caught in a valley, a stretch of rock no one else stopped to look at.

I don’t chase famous viewpoints. I look for what lies between them, when light and land line up for a few minutes and then are gone.

Every print is made to order.
