Alexandre Buisse

Alexandre Buisse was born in Lyon, France. Growing up there meant frequent trips to the Alps, often to the Chamonix valley, which planted the seeds for his love of the mountains. Ironically, it wasn't until he moved to flat Scandinavia that, pushed by a friend, he took up climbing. He has since traveled and climbed on four continents and in most major world ranges. Alexandre began taking a serious interest in photography in 2005--just in time for his 20th birthday--and hasn't put his camera down ever since. His initial motivation was to record and share the wonderful views that he encountered while hiking in the French Alps and, later, on his mountaineering expeditions. Though he also shoots in urban environments, his heart decidedly lies with nature and adventure photography. He currently lives in Denmark, where he is switching careers from academic research to full-time adventure photography; he plans to move back to France soon. See less
