THE FRAME
The image
The chapel with the peak behind. Overcast actually suits it — it is the reflection that needs sun.
Zermatt · 2,583m · On-location photography
Photoshoot at Schwarzsee — Chapel and Lake
The small stone chapel above the lake, the Matterhorn behind it, twelve minutes from the village. The frame everyone knows and nobody executes well, because the light here is flat until the sun clears the ridge.
