From its first edition, the Chamonix Photo Festival aimed to highlight young talents under 30 years old.
After receiving about forty applications, the jury met and chose to support the work of Maxime Daviron.
He will exhibit his images during the 3-day festival and will be offered the printing of his works.

Photography started to attract me quite early. A passion quickly became essential, evolving from a simple documentary tool to a true means of artistic expression My images quickly focused on Nature and high altitude, always with a strong attraction to dark and dreamlike atmospheres. Fascinated by wild territories, I regularly set out in search of new atmospheres, trying to convey both the experiences lived and the feelings felt, and to infuse the approaches and influences specific to each series into the images that compose them.
For this first year, the success of the various competitions was a wonderful surprise.
In total more than 3000 photographs, divided into 5 categories, were received.
Here is the list of finalists in each category.
The winners will be announced during the festival and each of these images will be exhibited in the town of Chamonix.
