Alexandre Schmid has been the new lookout at Lausanne Cathedral since January 1, 2024. At 32, he embodies the oldest living tradition in Switzerland. Respecting tradition, he seeks to create his character by adding his own personal touch: style of dress or even tone of voice during the auction. These portraits were taken during his first week on the job.
