Honorable Mention

"Above the valley"

Lonely Chamois above the Rhône Valley, Valais, Switzerland

Biography: Romain Tornay was born in 1975 in Valais, in the heart of the Swiss mountains. Traveling the peaks from his childhood, he marveled at this alpine nature and his search for aestheticism led him logically to photography about fifteen years ago. This attraction for the great outdoors then leads him to discover the Far North. Thanks to more than thirty trips to the Nordic countries in all seasons, he has built a solid photographic heritage of northern Europe. He now teaches biology and photography at Geneva High School.
