PEOPLE » KILIAN JORNET
This is probably my favourite portrait . It is of Atma , a friend that I met in the Alps and with whom I have done many things . I took this picture when he came to run the Tromsø Skyrace . And on the left the Norwegian fjords , only this time the moon is out .
I like shooting landscape photos using a wild lens , capturing how it feels to be in a place , and the interaction of movement with an environment . But I like portraits too . I take some for social media , others for books or sponsors that commission me to do the work , but there are some I like to keep for myself .
The skier in the picture is my friend Vivian Bruchez . I took this picture of a step-ski opening in the Alps . The sun was coming out , and it was a super-great moment , doing what we love the most in the mountains .
I use a mirrorless camera because the weight makes all the difference when I am running . I like to shoot with a 2 / 15mm lens with a fisheye effect to capture the atmosphere of my surroundings . I carry a Zeiss Batis 2 / 25 lens with me in the mountains because it is light and fast .
