  • 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.…

  • Shadows of Elegance

    Shadows of Elegance

    When I first met Valentina, I immediately recognized her talent and the potential she brings in front of the camera. For this editorial, created during one of my studio workshops in Zurich, I wanted to focus on the subtle dialogue between her presence and the carefully shaped light.

  • In the Light of Calm

    In the Light of Calm

    This portrait of Pilar was created during one of my portrait workshops at the BeInspired Studio. From the very beginning, there was a natural ease in the way she moved in front of the camera. The soft afternoon sunlight poured gently through the studio window, painting her face with delicate highlights and shadows that gave…

  • Balcony Light in Venice

    Balcony Light in Venice

    This story continues where “A Quiet Venetian Moment” began. Dayane and I returned to that same soft light and quiet mood — a moment suspended between calm and courage. We had arrived in Venice a day before my photography course started, and the city gifted us with perfect weather and gentle light. It felt only natural to…
