A Canadian-born photographer based in the Swiss Alps, Yves Garneau has made a living doing what he's dreamed about ever since his long snowy drive from Ontario to British Columbia in January of '96.
Two amazing winters on the west coast transformed him from a recreational skier to a die-hard mountain addict. At the end of '97, he packed his bags and headed to Europe for a taste of the Swiss Alps, chocolate and cheese. He now calls the Val de Bagnes home and lives with his wife and boys in a little village nestled at the base of Europe's best resort, Verbier. Yves spends his winters shooting all over the Alps for several well known ski brands and more than a dozen different ski publications. He specializes in back country ski photography bringing some of the most pristine points of view straight to your coffee table at home.
Also specializing in interior photography, Yves shoots for some of the most luxurious property brands in the Alps including Virgin Ltd. and Swiss Development Group. He works closely with several luxury tour operators and real-estate agencies fulfilling all of their specific image demands for sales and rental.
When not hunkered down in the powder shooting professional athletes or in amongst the Alps finest properties, Yves can be found working with the region's tourist board on a whole slew of projects.
His versatility and strong work ethic have made him one of the most prolific photographers in the Alps.
