For the St. Gallen Tagblatt newspaper, I was commissioned to photograph various lakes in Eastern Switzerland, including Lake Walen, Seealpsee, Lake Constance, and Lake Zurich. Once you break through these physical barriers, you encounter landscapes that can seem quite alien. These unknown worlds have something fictional about them, yet are characterized by a rather underestimated beauty.
