I captured this extreme and rare moment of a basket of dynamite in an H125 to trigger avalanches in the French Alps. I was a helper in the helicopter at the time, which is why I was able to capture this photo since safety is very controlled with this type of explosives.

January flying in Iceland ✨ We took off at 11 in the morning into the sunrise and landed back in Reykjavík around 3 in the afternoon, just in time for sunset. Almost the whole day feels like golden hour. This one was taken on the black sand beach of the south coast.

How a plane learns to fly!
An unrealistic scene!
I went to the DZ des Bois in Chamonix for this moment: CMBH’s H125 was called in to bring down a plane that had landed a bit roughly on the Mer de Glace.
With only my phone in hand, I couldn’t capture the moment properly with a camera…
Still, it’s an image forever engraved in my mind

I captured this H125 from Savoie Hélicoptères during an air-to-air shoot. We're in the French Alps during a mission to trigger avalanches using dynamite launched from the chopper. The day before the shoot, snow had fallen and the wind had picked up, so accumulations of blown snow created this magnificent cloud of powder.

I captured this H125 from Savoie Hélicoptères during an air-to-air shoot. We're in the French Alps on a fire-fighting training mission. We had the opportunity to practice for a long time, which prompted me to try a “full disc”, which worked out quite well - you can see the helicopter and bucket in the water through the rotor disc.

I captured this H125 from Savoie Hélicoptères during an air-to-air shoot. We're in the French Alps, on a mission to hoist rope access technicians onto a cliff to secure a road. During the shoot, snow began to fall, enabling us to capture this image in extreme conditions, showing the H125 in action.

I captured this H125 from Savoie Hélicoptères during an air-to-air shoot. We're in the French Alps during a logging mission on a cliff to secure a road. We can see the H125 lifting a tree weighing around 1 tonne, from this rare angle where the tree appears so close despite a 30-meter long sling, all under the snow.
