Winter holiday through a photographer’s lens
Updated on 04.12.2017 in Family
New Zealand native Casey Moore lives in East Sussex, England, where he works as a photographer. As a youngster he taught himself the art of photography and spent many hours honing his skills in the darkroom. For his large-scale exhibition images he still uses traditional analogue methods and develops each photo by hand. When it comes to his work, he draws inspiration from a quote by the surrealist Roger Caillos: "Without humanity, there remains aesthetic. It is nature itself that dictates human aesthetics and imagination."
The following series of photos were all shot on analogue 35mm film by Casey during a family holiday in Pertisau am Achensee with his wife Claire Alexander and their three children Luca, Willow and Ren (aged 8, 7 & 2). This was the first time the whole family had gone skiing and he said of Pertisau: „I have skied in many many different countries but I cannot imagine a better place to take the family for their first ski holiday. Pertisau really was the perfect place to get the kids in love with the mountains.“

When he is not working, Michael Gams is out exploring this beautiful region, hiking, mountain biking, freeriding and ski touring to the most beautiful spots in Tirol.

A Farmstay in East Tirol
9 min reading time
East Tirol. Christian, my husband, has been backcountry skiing and ski touring in Villgratental Valley several times. Every time he returned home, he was totally enthralled by the experience. Not only because of the varied backcountry terrain; he also liked the remote valleys and the pristine wilderness in this area on the border to South Tyrol. East Tirol is where Austria and Italy collide. There is no mass tourism here. Instead of vast hotel complexes, the mountainsides here are dotted with sun-bleached timbered farmhouses. But that's not to say that it’s a backwater, just alluringly remote. East Tirol is close to Italy and to the Sexten Dolomites, with the world renowned Tre Cime (Italian for "three peaks"). These distinctive battlement-like peaks of northeastern Italy are on display in East Tirol, Dolomites near and far can be seen. Moreover, the fusion of an Austrian-Italian style of cooking makes this place a hit.
