Mountainbike

Sometimes a photographers biggest piece of equipment is not the camera itself.
The best, fun and most efficient way to get to many beautiful places is riding a mountain(bike), especially if the camera gear itself fits easly into a small backpack.

Ona Poké @ Leica Zurich

Shot on Leica S (Type 007) and M (M10).
The recent campaign for Ona Poké is featured in a large format exhibition at the Leica Store Zurich.

Fun!

The best part of every shooting.
When two thirds of the work are done and everyone is not just in the perfect creative flow, but enjoys the moment, a photoshooting is just pure fun!

Compositing

Some shootings need imagination.
A demanding shooting for DesignRaum, as it required taking pictures of a model, who is, in several poses, later on part of a visualization; so lighting, perspective etc. needed a lot of visual understanding of the imaginary scene.

That moment...

The moment that means fine-tuning.
Adjusting the lighting and taking pictures is always the final, crucial and most tense moment of every lighting project.
Together with COCC and coherent. I did the showroom of Eugster Sanitary Equipment and on the final evening we were rewarded not just with a beautiful sunset, but even a double rainbow.

Architecture + Lighting + People = Emotion

As the world's technology leader in technical architectural lighting, Erco has very special requirements for their imagery.
The combination of architectural photography with a clear focus on lighting and reportage photography creates unique pictures, which show what lighting really is about.

Livit Galleria

Architecture needs art.
DesignRaum, Switzland's leading studio for architectural visualization successfully uses my photographic art to add that extra twist to their images.

Curiosity

Shooting the Art Basel Miami Beach for Erco was special and wonderful task.
Nothing could be staged, everything was "as is" and the project was very important to the client. So it took a lot of curiosity, blending-in and patience to get the perfect pictures.

Made to measure lighting

Sometimes the engineering is in the small things.
Custom-made LED coat rack lighting which helps identifying coats, suits etc. with complete glare protection and an upscale finish with a bronzed brass cover.

Exhibition at Leica Zurich

Corporate Art.
Corporate photography can be more than just naturalistic. The Leica Store Zurich shows an exhibition of my tattoo artists portraits shot at Giahi Tattoo & Piercing Switzerland.

Color rendition

Color means light.
Perfect vision takes a perfect color rendition. As a lighting designer, I'm an expert in getting exactly the light which is needed, to deliver the colorful message.

Giahi Tattoo & Piercing

Passion equals excellence.
My photography and lighting design collaboration with Giahi Tattoo & Piercing dates back to 2011. My clients are the best in their branch of business, just like Giahi is Europe's leader in tattoo and piercing.
Thank you for our great projects!

Public art

Art is needed everywhere.
Zurich lacked public art, so I got in touch with its authorities and they didn't just take action, but even set up an Instameet for it.

Get upgrades!

Mechanics take upgrades.
The 500C was the first leaf shutter Hasselblad camera. Unfortuneatly, the interchangeable focusing screens started with the 500C/M, so it took a lot of luck to find the latest generation, super bright grid plus focus indicator screen and a skilled technician, who could install it in my 500C.

Why Leica?

No compromise.
A Leica isn't just a small, digital fullframe camera. It's the best fullframe camera. Absolutely unsurpassed lenses and a reduced to the maximum, mechanical interface lead to an as easy as possible choice of equipment.

Blue Hour

Lighting photography takes an expert in lighting.
With a timeframe of less than 30 minutes and many technical and visual aspects, the perfect lighting picture demands more than just to be shot during the Blue Hour.

Film fine art

A piece of art.
The Hasselblad is not just a fully mechanic camera or great swedish and german engineering, it's a piece of art itself. That's why most of my fine art photographs are shot on a Hasselblad 500C from 1969. Loved it at as child and inherited it from my father, a photographer himself.
