Vittorio Sella
Vittorio Sella (1859–1943) was a pioneering Italian photographer renowned for his breathtaking images of the Himalayas and other mountain ranges. His early works, created using complex photographic techniques, captured iconic peaks such as Kanchenjunga and K2, shaping the field of mountain photography. Sella's expeditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries produced some of the earliest high-altitude photographs, showcasing not only his technical skill but also his resilience in harsh conditions.
