Dear Visitor,
Thank you for stopping by my portfolio. I hope you enjoy exploring my work and perhaps even find something that resonates with you.
I grew up in Switzerland but in 2003, I made a spontaneous move to New York City for an IT job. It was here that I met my wife, and together we built a life in the New Jersey suburbs, where our two wonderful children ensure that there’s never a dull moment. Seventeen years later, I’m still in New York—something I never imagined, but life has a way of surprising us.
My journey with photography began as a child, taking pictures on family camping trips in Italy with a Fujica manual SLR camera that I shared with my mom. Fast forward to the early 2000s, when I bought my first digital camera—only to be frustrated by the agonizing shutter lag! After my son was born in 2008, I upgraded to a Nikon D90, and that's when I really started to take photography seriously.
Today, photography is somewhere between a hobby and an all-consuming passion. While I sometimes daydream about going professional—traveling to exotic locations on National Geographic’s dime and rubbing shoulders with legends like Art Wolfe—I prefer to keep it fun and pressure-free. I enjoy the freedom of shooting whatever inspires me, whether it’s landscapes, architecture, abstracts, or street scenes. I rarely set out with the sole purpose of photographing; instead, I take my camera with me wherever I go, letting the world around me guide the way.
I’m deeply inspired by photographers like Jay Maisel, Eddie Soloway, Art Wolfe, Joel Sartore, Bryan Peterson, Guy Tal and many others.
Ultimately, my goal with photography is simple: I want to evoke a reaction or an emotion—whether it's “Wow, that’s cool,” or “I’ve never seen that before,” “What is that?” or “I love looking at that because it makes me feel [insert emotion here]”
