7 Mountains specialises in creating unforgettable photo and video productions set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Alps.

Through countless scouting missions, 7 Mountains has built a broad portfolio of shootable locations: pristine glaciers, luxury hotels and alpine chalets, verdant meadows, and high-altitude lakes. The birthplace of modern alpinism brings them together with their most valuable assets, the mountain guides and ski instructors, the climbers and trial runners, whose spirit of authenticity and daring infuses every production.

Few places in the world offer silhouettes as iconic as the Alps. From the dramatic Matterhorn in Zermatt and the towering Mont Blanc in Chamonix to the jagged peaks of the Dolomites, these landscapes evoke an immediate sense of timeless awe. Depending on your creative vision, 7 Mountains can frame your story amid glaciers and snowy landscapes, or on rolling hills with a softer, more pastoral atmosphere—perfect for a more poetic mood.

With 7 Mountains, your production doesn’t just capture the Alps—it becomes part of them.

Andreas Gerhardt portrays people with a clear focus on genuine, emotional moments. A current series captures athletes immediately after competition or races – close-up, raw, and authentic.

Preparation and organisation are essential to his productions, yet it is his ability to improvise spontaneously that makes working with him so valuable. The result is portraits that feel natural and moving rather than staged.

The compelling glimpse behind the scenes – focusing on people, on the moment, not just on performance – is what continues to fascinate Andreas and drives him to go ‘all in’.

Clients include cycling-unlimited, Hero Series, ChemCon, Vertiko, Vitra, Schölly Fiberoptic, Atmos, and Maxon Moto.

His photos of mountains, alpine landscapes, and the people who live in them or simply visit them reflect his enthusiasm for an inexhaustible, unique world.
