Sobre mí

Photography started for me at the age of 15 out of curiosity.
Curiosity was joined by passion.
Curiosity and passion turned into necessity.
Today, I make pictures because I want to and have to.

I love to make portraits - always looking for interesting faces
I love to create nude images - always open for collaborations to create
I love photographing landscapes - always looking for special places

Working predominantly in medium format, my process is slow, and my photography sessions are long. No pressure, no rush. I don't work for clients anymore, don't create for money - been there, done that for 20+ years. Today, I only do what I like.

I collaborate with my models, we make images we both are happy with. Always open to new ideas, I love to experiment and try new compositions, sometimes these experiments fail, then we do something else. It is my belief that I can only advance my work if I am willing to try my best and accept failure. I like models who are creative and share my passion to create. During a session, I don't want 1000 poses, I don't shoot 3000 pictures. I prefer natural looks and carefully arranged images. I don't do "sexy" images - such things bore me. In other words, if Playboy or other publications like that would offer me a job - I would decline it.

I have my own, fully equipped studio in Zurich and also travel for shoots.

I work with contracts, both in TFP and Paid. TFP we both own the rights. If it's Paid, I own all the rights. I practically never take assignments, meaning I don't make pictures for money anymore.
