Alvarez was the only non-scientific photographer to shoot Chauvet this decade. It’s closed to all but a handful of researchers. Speaking of the experience, he commented 'that knowledge gave me a tremendous sense of responsibility. It also left me with a strong feeling of connection to those Paleolithic artists. I wanted to photograph the paintings in a way that let the original artists’ voice come through while also preserving the sense of what it is like to stand in front of that art.'
