Photographer based in Switzerland

As a child, I hadn’t a chance to travel or discover. So you could say that I am catching up now and I want to keep everything imaginable in any form in my memories. Photography allows me to do this. When I was younger I used to paint a lot, today I photograph a lot and I consider it to be a very important part of my life, whether professionally or privately. 

I love every area within photography though I especially love street photography and fine art. I feel good shooting in different types of settings and enjoy every single moment, because whatever type of photography it is, my projects come from the heart. For some years now, I have been doing certain series of pictures with an analogue camera, such as capturing stray cats or people on benches. These are projects that I can continue wherever I am in the world and don’t restrict me in anything. 

Basically I’m a big fan of analog photography and don’t follow many digital trends. For me, my photographic development consists of observing and looking ahead, not in photography technology itself. I think that this talent is often lost in digital photography.

"Photography means to have patience, to look at details, to perceive and contemplate the environment and of course to know how to handle your camera and how to deal with light."
"When I'm on the road to go shooting, I have my film camera with me."

The nice thing about film photography is that you have to keep your eyes open and you can’t just take as many pictures as you want. You have to choose one good picture at the end of the day. It’s just the whole process from taking the picture to the creation and printing that absorbs me; I literally forget the time in the darkroom. I spent nights there without noticing it’s already morning. And in some way every picture remains a surprise.

Since I got a drone I have been photographing landscapes almost exclusively with my drone or film camera. The drone offers new perspectives. When I was younger, I always liked to climb up everywhere to look down and see what was going on while being higher than everything and everyone. That goes of course much better with a drone; I can reach places I wouldn’t be able to be myself, even climbing. Shooting with a drone gives me the opportunity to be outside and to see the world with different eyes. 

"You can find me a lot in the mountains with the dogs, trying to chase different landscapes and moods."

I find it not so easy to wait until sunset only for a picture with a better mood. Of course I do prefer certain moods and clouds and I don’t find the blue sky super exciting but on some days when there are no clouds, I can feel the sun and it just feels amazing being there…That’s also why I like to share less dramatic photos sometimes, simply to show how colorful nature can be, to show it just as it is. People like to share pictures with certain moods that have been added to the photo by editing it. I also like these moods in some way and I find many of the pictures beautiful, but at the same time I think it’s a pity that nature is often represented so monotonously while nature is so diverse with its different shapes and colors. I believe that it’s important to find your own style and not to imitate or look for role models.

"I would say… Start to discover the places around you and always respect and protect nature!"

I feel like everyone has to travel to certain places because they are trendy, but they forget what it’s all about: being creative, seeing the beauty of nature everywhere, whatever the weather circumstances or location, and documenting the marvellous details of nature before it changes again. Nowadays, it is no longer easy to see things as beautiful as they are, without wanting to change anything to make it better.

"Personally, landscape photography has taught me simplicity, and I am trying to apply it to every aspect of life."

Being outside is the best thing for me and I can switch off. It also helps me to focus on my priorities, it has changed paths I was walking and influenced decisions I had to make. I was living in Australia and Canada before; now I am in Switzerland and I am studying to become an Animal Behaviour Consultant. It would be awesome to find a way to combine everything together; who knows where it goes. The only thing I am sure about is that I want to do many different things and I don’t wanna limit myself. Photography and our world have one thing in common… It’s simply beautiful and there is a lot to discover!
