“After close to a decade and probably thousands of spots of shooting I still believe there is a sick angle to every single spot out there,” is a quote taken from Cyril Müller’s interview for The Eight Project, a a phenomenal magazine-format photography book that you should most definitely explore.
Swiss-born, raised, and based, Cyril has built his career outside of the “gimme” shot. His eye has been trained to document the things that we often take for granted. When you look at his photography you will realize how these moments are perfectly aligned in space and time, a click of a shutter that will last for ages, which is something that not every photographer has the ability to achieve. Moments are fleeting, but not for the lens of Cyril Müller.
Not all of these photographs are images that you would expect in magazines and quite frankly, that’s a wonderful thing. If everyone shot with that in mind then we would have an epidemic of blandness on our hands — it would all look the same. More often than not it’s the split-second shot that ends up becoming the strongest memory. Thank you Cyril, for always making something out of even the toughest days out there and for contributing your tremendously hard work to the pages of Snowboard Magazine.
