About me

My visit to the Street Parade in the summer of 2001 was to change everything: I was photographed in Zurich by the newly founded party portal tilllate.com. I then worked as a photographer and partner for this website in Basel, which was extremely popular at the time, during my bachelor's degree. In 2005, after successfully completing my business studies, I moved to Zurich and worked operationally for the portal for several years. After successful and eventful years as a photographer and business developer, we parted ways in summer 2012.

I have never regretted my decision to become a freelance photographer in the fall of 2012. Nevertheless, there were weeks and months that were not easy, especially at the beginning. Thanks to my good contacts, professional service quality and great commitment, I was able to make a name for myself as an event photographer over the years.

In the following years as a freelance photographer, I experienced numerous highlights. One particularly memorable moment, for example, was when Hollywood star George Clooney and his wife and then US Vice President Joe Biden stood right in front of me in Davos in 2017. In situations like that, everything has to go right first time - there's no second attempt.

While in the digital age most photos end up on social media platforms, on the intranet or simply on smartphones, there are still some print magazines that print and publish glossy images week after week. For almost 20 years, I have had the privilege of carrying out commissions for Schweizer Illustrierte, which has been published since 1911. Even after all these years, the value of a printed publication of my own photos is a pleasure for me - and a special form of satisfaction.
