  • A Quiet Venetian Moment

    A Quiet Venetian Moment

    Dayane and I had arrived in Venice a day before my photography course began. The weather was beautiful, the food was perfect, and the mood was calm — the kind of day that makes you slow down and notice every detail. Between espresso and laughter, we decided to use the afternoon light for a spontaneous…

  • On trust with Claire

    On trust with Claire

    Trust is never declared — it reveals itself quietly, often when nothing is expected to happen. Paris in November tends to soften everything. When Claire and I met during my last visit, the intention was simple: a short introduction before committing to shared workshops in Zurich the following year. Professionalism was never in question, but…

  • While Time Moves On

    While Time Moves On

    It was a summer day in the Valais, the kind where the sun doesn’t ask for permission. The light arrived strong and unapologetic, carving shapes into the landscape and leaving nowhere to hide. I didn’t want to soften it. I wanted to see what happens when strength meets stillness, when the day shows its full…

  • The Weight of Bloom

    The Weight of Bloom

    This editorial is a meditation on quiet presence, developed in close collaboration with Vallie Plagirafe. From the beginning, the work was shaped through dialogue—between photographer and model, body and flower, intention and intuition. Melancholy is not introduced as a theme but allowed to surface naturally through restraint. Read the full editorial.

  • Light Between Mornings

    Light Between Mornings

    Paris has a way of lowering the volume of the outside world, especially when you step inside and let the city remain only as a distant echo. This series with Chiara came together during one of those pauses—between mornings, between plans—when light enters gently and nothing asks to be performed. I wasn’t interested in documenting…

  • Body as Expression

    Body as Expression

    Strength emerges where the body stops explaining itself and simply exists. This session with Nana took place in my Zurich studio in 2021 and was carried by a quiet intensity from the very beginning. It was never about staging something, but about leaving space—for posture, for tension, for pauses. The images live from a clear…

  • A Trace of Melancholy

    A Trace of Melancholy

    In these images, I searched for the kind of quiet melancholy that reveals itself only when everything else falls silent. Discover this Editorial with Model Halyna.

  • A City Holding Us

    A City Holding Us

    Many years ago, I met Carina, and from that very first moment a collaboration began that would shape my photographic path in lasting ways. This weekend in Venice brought us back to our beginnings and reopened the space for those familiar, emotional images that can only emerge through deep trust. Read my full blog.

  • Where Gaze Becomes Light

    Where Gaze Becomes Light

    There is something magnetic about the moment when a gaze meets the lens and refuses to soften. When Carla — traveling from Poland through Switzerland in 2023 — stepped into the studio, that magnetism became unmistakable. The shadows wrapped around her like a whispered dare, inviting me to shape the space between light and intent.…
