Share. Motivate. Educate.

We often ask ourselves "what else is in store for me". 'm a lucky guy in this respect, I have a brilliant job and I'm often able to pursue my own ideas and projects. This is awesome and I am very grateful, nevertheless for a long time I still felt that "the next thing" is somewhere out there, waiting for me…

Confidence is beautiful
Saturday, 01 February 2014
We so often read about "inner beauty", and while I agree in "real life", there are obvious limitations in photography. One element however that does clearly shine from inside is confidence.

PINK inspired…
Tuesday, 21 January 2014
This is a photograph we produced in Sydney, Australia.
I call it "Pink inspired" because of the similar looks with the famous singer, but also in terms of posing and attitude: Self confident, sexy, funky and interesting.

My wife and I went shopping just before christmas and met this beautiful girl, working at a T-Shirt shop. Long story short, we talked, I left my business card, she looked through my website, must have liked what I'm doing, and yesterday she visited me at my studio...

Painting the Scene with Light
Friday, 03 January 2014
It feels just like in my studio – creating something out of nothing (setting the mood of a scene with light) - on a slightly larger scale or course…

12/12: December
Thursday, 02 January 2014
Usually, when shooting on a performance stage, you have no influence on the lighting or choreography. In this case however, I was able to design, install and program all of the lighting. 8 x Martin Mac700 and 8 x Martin Mac 575, some conventional light and a group of amazing young dancers...
Sounds like hours of fun to me...

Tuesday, 31 December 2013
Oh man, this is a difficult one. In November, I produced so many images I like, and I find it hard to narrow it down to one "best" image. I picked the picture below as a representation of the hundreds of ballet images I shot this month…

07/12: July
Tuesday, 24 December 2013
In my day-to-day business, I usually work in a small team (and often travel alone), however in July and August, I was able to take my family with me to Europe. I looked through all my professional images from the time, but if I'm honest, what I remember the most are the moments involving my wife and kids. It was the first time for them to visit my homeland, and we traveled from the Swiss Alps to Venice, Berlin, and Paris!
My select for July is therefore more of a representation of a great time with my loved ones, and since it is the 24th of December today, it is only fitting to forget about "work" for a moment, and think about those we love and cherish the most!
Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy, eat and drink, and celebrate!

Images look great online, but it's still nowhere near a large print. I miss the fine details, especially for images like the one below of Australian beauty Cat Delany, my pick for May 2013.
Call me old-fashioned, but I just love my images hanging on walls. It shows the details I spend so much time and effort on, and it also gives photographs weight and value...

In February, I met a lot of great and beautiful people, and it was difficult to pick only one image. I selected this image as a representation of a great production, rather than as the single best image (I've posted other images from the same shoot before, so I post this "new" one instead).
