Jeremy Lafond is a French photographer and filmmaker based in the French Alps.

His work is shaped by years spent moving through mountains and outdoor environments, both as an athlete and an observer. Through photography, he explores the relationship between movement, light and the natural world, often placing the human figure within vast and sometimes abstract landscapes.

His imagery moves between action and stillness, documenting moments where people seem to become part of the environments they move through. Rather than simply documenting outdoor sports, Jeremy seeks to capture the emotions, solitude and sense of freedom found within them.

__________________________________________________________________________

I was born in Hong Kong in 2001 and spent much of my life moving between different countries and cultures.

Photography came into my life when I moved to Australia at eighteen. I had no formal training, I learned by taking my camera everywhere, experimenting, making mistakes and gradually developing my own way of seeing.

I started with street photography before being drawn towards music, outdoor culture and eventually the mountains. Over time, the mountains became both my playground and my creative space. Being a skier myself changed the way I photographed them. I wasn't interested only in documenting performance, but in everything surrounding it: the silence before movement, changing light, weather, scale, isolation and the relationship between a person and the landscape.

Today, my work sits somewhere between outdoor photography and fine art. I am particularly drawn to silhouettes, abstraction, motion and the way light can transform familiar landscapes into something almost unrecognisable.

For me, photography is less about documenting exactly what happened and more about preserving how a moment felt. My work explores the space between movement and stillness. I am drawn to environments where humans become small — mountains, open landscapes and places shaped by weather, light and time.

Rather than documenting outdoor sports literally, I use movement as a way of exploring scale, solitude and our relationship with the natural world. Light plays a central role in my images. Strong contrasts, silhouettes, motion blur and deep shadows often remove details from a scene, leaving only shapes, textures and gestures behind.

I like when an image sits somewhere between reality and abstraction, when it is no longer immediately about skiing, climbing or running, but simply about a human being moving through a landscape.
