A day in the mountains

Autumn hiking photography in the Engadin mountains – group of hikers in Maloja outdoor clothing surrounded by golden larch trees, clear alpine lake and fresh snow-covered peaks, outdoor lifestyle series by sports, people & lifestyle photographer Michael Mueller.

Hiking Photography for Maloja in the Engadin Mountains This hiking series was photographed for Maloja in the Engadin mountains during the perfect autumn moment – golden larch trees in full colour and the first fresh snow on the high peaks. Together with a small group of hikers we followed the trails around crystal-clear lakes, capturing authentic moments of movement, rest and connection to nature. The images mix wide Alpine landscapes with intimate lifestyle scenes, showing the Maloja outdoor collection in real use: layered looks, technical fabrics and warm midlayers for long days in the mountains. As a sports, people & lifestyle photographer I focused on natural light, real emotions and a cinematic yet honest visual language that outdoor and adventure brands can use for campaigns, lookbooks and social media content.
