Born in Biella, a town known for wool trade in northern Italy, SELL (1859-1930) made his first rises in the surrounding Alps.

“During his career, he used his skills in engineering and his father, and chemistry used his skills,” says Thomson.

For thirty years, he mastered complex photo techniques.

His panoramic images, along with technical perfection, achieved a worldwideball.

SELLA’s Himalayan truck trip started in British Explorer Douglas in Freshfield in 1899 in the Kanchenjunga traffic circulation.

Any circulation around the mountain was also included in Nepal, and that was also a closed kingdom.

While the group climbing ambitions were constantly frustrated by the rain, SELA had the opportunity to catch the snowy peaks. He was stationary with technology, testing the photos of Kanchenjung’s TV. His images took the spectators to a world of unshaved times.

The most difficult mountains in the world are as a testament to its skills and resilience. Carrying a camera system that weighs almost 30 kg, sells traitors of landscapes by creating images that have defined mountain photography.

Jim Curran, by K2’s story: Savage Mountain’s story, “Probably the biggest mountain photographer … its name (is) synonymous with technical perfection and aesthetic finesse.”

In the K2 expedition, Selta had about 250 formal photos with its ROSS & CO camera for four to five months; Kanchenjunga, about 200, Thomson notes.

“Modern digital rules have no extraordinary, and in the last days of analog film, it would be equated to some eight rolls, in a single mountain that the 1970s could use in a single mountain – but when he was a picture, there was a large number.

“That gave him a terrible attention and thought to each photo, because they could shoot both of the plate.”

He came with risks of high altitude photography. Many of the most intimidation of SELT was ruined in wet conditions to stick to negatives.

However, those who survived reveal a master of an eye, Thomson notes.

“Sell was like the mountains that make up the snow in the snow.”
