The I.C.E. St. Moritz 26′
Classic cars on a frozen lake.
Winter light.
A setting that feels almost unreal.
The I.C.E. St. Moritz is not just another automotive event. It is where design, heritage and alpine atmosphere meet on the frozen surface of Lake St. Moritz.
For a photographer, it is a rare combination: iconic cars, elegant details, changing light, snow, ice, movement and people who genuinely belong to this world.
Automotive elegance, Engadin atmosphere
The frozen lake becomes a white stage.
Chrome, paint, leather, wool coats, sunglasses, exhaust smoke and mountain light. Everything is part of the same visual language.
This is what makes The I.C.E. special: it is not only about the cars.
It is about the atmosphere around them.
A different kind of car photography
At events like this, the strongest images are rarely the cleanest car portraits.
They happen in between.
A hand on a steering wheel.
Snow under a tyre.
A reflection in a window.
A conversation next to a historic machine.
A car moving through white space.
That is the story I wanted to photograph.
Frozen lake, moving cars
There is something beautifully absurd about seeing rare classic cars driven on ice.
Not displayed behind ropes.
Not hidden in private collections.
But moving, breathing, sliding, making noise.
The landscape strips everything back.
The cars become graphic shapes against snow and sky.
Details, people, moments
The I.C.E. is full of small visual contrasts.
Old engineering and contemporary style.
Luxury and cold air.
Precision and unpredictability.
Concours elegance and real movement.
This is exactly the type of automotive photography I am drawn to: editorial, atmospheric and human.
The I.C.E. St. Moritz through my lens
This series is not meant to document every car or every moment of the event.
It is a visual impression of the day.
The feeling of standing on the lake.
The sound of engines in winter air.
The elegance of classic cars in one of the most cinematic settings in Switzerland.
Automotive photography in St. Moritz and the Engadin
I photograph classic cars, automotive events, private collections and editorial stories in St. Moritz, the Engadin and across Switzerland. My focus is not only on the car itself but on the world around it: location, light, people, details and atmosphere.
