7 Mountains Geneva Full Service Production for Photo & Film
7 Mountains Productions, a leading high mountain production company operating in Switzerland, France, and Patagonia, had a remarkable year filled with significant anniversaries. One such milestone was the 100th anniversary of the esteemed Italian ski brand Colmar, where they played a pivotal role in reenacting an imaginary Alpine legend known as 'The Dude'.
Another notable anniversary was that of Eider, a brand with a rich history spanning over 60 years, renowned for designing clothing that fuses French heritage, expertise, and technique.
Recently, 7 Mountains, under the leadership of their Buenos Aires office, embarked on a back-to-back production for the US brand Free People. This captivating journey led them first to Chile's Patagonia and then to the enchanting Swiss destination of Gstaad.
Their collaboration extended to the Australian brand Industrie, where they had the unique opportunity to privatise a rail car on the splendid Belle Époque train route from Montreux to Gstaad. The final leg of that journey took them to Zermatt, where they had orchestrated shortly before another remarkable production, this time for Anthropologie.
Call 7 Mountains to get to know more about Gstaad, St. Moritz and Zermatt.

Thomas Baumann Zurich People & Lifestyle and Portraiture Photographers
Thomas Baumann is a freelance photographer based in Zurich and Thun with a passion for staged portraiture and editorials in a documentary style. His work is emotional and moody, creating a unique atmosphere in every photograph.
He loves to collaborate with clients, developing concepts and storytelling to ensure that the final result perfectly captures their vision.

That is why his images are not in a unique and predefined colour palette but in a tonality that is intended to emphasise the desired mood. He is always searching for the perfect shot. He has a keen ability to capture the essence of his subjects, whether it be the intimacy of a portrait, or the raw emotion of a moment
Thomas’ work has been featured in print, online, social media and international campaigns. Among his clients are global and local companies as well as agencies and magazines like British Airways, Air Zermatt, Bilanz, Nagra, Nutriathletics, Hamilton International, NZZ am Sonntag, Migros, Swiss Television SRF.
