ECAL teams up with trail running brand NNormal for a unique photography project that blends visual exploration with pushing physical and creative boundaries. Inspired by the mountains, this collaboration invites students to challenge conventions through technical precision, immersion in nature and bold imagination.
In September 2024, ECAL launched a unique photographic collaboration with NNormal, the trail running brand founded by Kilian Jornet. Under the guidance of Nicolas Poillot and Régis Tosetti, students from the Bachelor Photography programme explored a shared territory between performance, nature and visual creation. Inspired by the demands of trail running and the power of alpine landscapes, they developed works that blend technical precision, creative freedom and a deep sensitivity to the natural world. Through this experience, the mountains became both the setting and subject of an imagination shaped by effort, light, materials and the unexpected. A powerful dialogue between photography, design and pushing personal limits.
