Press & Editorial Photographer, Ried-brig, 1988

I attended the Press & Editorial Photography course at the Falmouth University in Great Britain and received a Bachelors degree in Science of Business Administration. After an intense internship as wire photographer for the press photo agency KEYSTONE-SDA and likewise as staff photographer at the renowned Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung NZZ, today I'm working as a freelance photographer for national and international newspapers, magazines, companies and agencies. Simplicity, serenity and minimalism paired with authenticity and a pinch of humour, that's the core of my picture style. As a Swiss country bumpkin I grew up in a remote alpine environment, enjoying freeride skiing, hiking and paragliding in my leisure time.
