About me
How it all began...
I turned my passion for photography into a career in 2001. After graduating in business administration and working for over ten years at the nightlife platform tilllate.com, most recently as Head of Photography, I have been working as an independent photographer since the end of 2012.
Versatile with a focus on people & emotion: event photography
Thanks to my many years of experience in capturing unique moments and emotions photographically, I have made a name for myself in Switzerland, particularly in the field of event photography. In 2014, I also completed a Master's degree in Business Communications.
Today, I mainly photograph corporate events, galas, congresses and brand events – for companies, agencies and luxury brands in Zurich and across Switzerland. Since 2006, I have also regularly covered events for the magazine Schweizer Illustrierte. What my clients value: I work discreetly, I am reliable, and I deliver even when there is only one chance to get the shot.
tilllate.com
The largest nightlife platform in Europe
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.

The early days
I have never regretted my decision to become an independent 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.
World Economic Forum 2017
Clooney & Biden
In the following years as an independent 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 the first time – there's no second attempt.

The value of print
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. Since 2006, 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.
