PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY PASSION

----------------------------------------------

Ich bin Schweizer und lebe in Luzern. Fotografie ist meine Leidenschaft. Vornehmlich, aber nicht ausschliesslich, beschäftige ich mich mit der Strassenfotografie. Ich mag die Strassenfotografie weil sie unberechenbar, immer anders und einzigartig ist. Ich mache gerne Fotos von Leuten, auch von Fremden. Ich interessiere mich für Menschen und deren Ausdrucksweise in alltäglichen Situationen. Die Gelegenheiten welche die Strassenfotografie bietet sind endlos, immer präsent und warten nur darauf eingefangen zu werden.

I am a Swiss based photographer who grew up in Lucerne, a real beautiful town in the center of Switzerland. My work mainly revolves around black and white street photography.

I love this discipline because it’s always different, unpredictable, and unique. Each moment occurs only once. I love taking photos of people, even strangers. And almost everywhere you go you will find them. My curiosity about the human condition and how people go about their lives is what drives me. The opportunities that street photography provides are endless and the moments are always present, just waiting to be captured.
