I’m a freelance photographer working in Switzerland, specialising in documentary and editorial photography.

My project-based work is concerned with the impact of human activity on near-natural habitats and their living beings. I connect the interfaces between nature and civilisation and show overlaps between these two areas.

In addition to my artistic practice, I also do commissions in the fields of documentary and photo-journalism, corporate communications, advertising and video production.
