Ice bathing (Swiss Stories 2025, by Andreas Butz) - Swiss Press Award

The idea for this story came from hearing about two women who go swimming every day. As a photographer, it quickly became clear to me that the scene couldn't be captured simply from the poolside. I wanted to take both women into the lake to convey the impression of ice and cold. And the more intense the weather, the more impressive the images.
