Entre silence et lumière, un portrait sincère
Read this Post: Entre silence et lumière, un portrait sincèreA quiet collaboration where light chose honesty. The images of actress Cosima Seibold were created in my Zurich studio in 2022, during a session that felt less like a performance and more like a conversation unfolding in stillness. From the beginning, my intention was to strip the setting down to its essentials, allowing space for…

Facets
Read this Post: FacetsI wanted this series to feel like a slow reveal rather than a fixed statement, allowing space for nuance and contradiction. Sophia has a natural ability to shift her energy, and instead of narrowing that down, I leaned into it. The camera became a place where softness and strength could coexist without explanation. What interested…

The Weight of Bloom
Read this Post: The Weight of BloomThis editorial is a meditation on quiet presence, developed in close collaboration with Vallie Plagirafe.

Amazon in the Light
Read this Post: Amazon in the LightWhen I look back at this series with Aliena, I remember how naturally everything came together. She has always struck me as a very grounded and warm person, which makes working with her not only easy but also inspiring. In 2020, I asked her if she would join me for a project with my Volvo…

Black-and-White Series with Chiara – Studio Work in Natural Light
Read this Post: Black-and-White Series with Chiara – Studio Work in Natural LightA new photo series with model Chiara was created in my Zurich studio – reduced, direct, and powerful. The images were shot exclusively in natural daylight, lending the editorial a raw yet natural lighting mood. The shadows remain soft, yet defined enough to subtly emphasize contours and atmosphere. Especially in black and white, this creates a depth that…

From a Distance – Observing Olivia Linz
Read this Post: From a Distance – Observing Olivia LinzWhat happens when the photographer steps back? With Olivia, I let the space and light speak — no posing, just presence. When I photographed Olivia Linz in this small Italian apartment, my goal was not to direct but to observe — quietly, honestly, without intrusion. These photographs are a result of trust and openness. See…
