CITY: Zurich

COURSES: Beginners, Street Photography, Astrophotography, Drone Photography, Portrait Photography

Like many professional colleagues, I also became a video and photographer in a roundabout way. After periods of life in Edmonton, Rio de Janeiro, Antibes and London – where I mainly worked in the hotel industry – I found my new home in Zurich.

Apart from travel photography, I started my career in street and architecture photography, or as I call it “streetcture photography”. The next step in my photography career was the (wise) decision to buy professional camera equipment instead of a new car. Not much later I quit my job as a hotel manager and travelled around the world for a year with my girlfriend. Always with me: about 8kg of camera equipment, including a drone. This year was like a kind of intensive photography apprenticeship for me and after my return, I put all my eggs in the photogaphy basket. A decision that I don’t regret for a second!

Today, I mainly work in the fields of landscape photography (including drone photography), hotel and gastronomy photography, portrait photography and reportage photography, although street photography is still my greatest passion. In videography, I specialise in smaller productions such as image and advertising films.
