Portraits made slowly,
on film.


I photograph people on medium-format film, 
for private clients and editorial commissions.

Based in Zurich, available worldwide.

I am a photographer and independent curator based in Zurich.

I hold an Executive Master in Art Market Studies from the University of Zurich and have spent years working with institutions, artists, and collectors. This experience shapes how I make photographs. I am interested in the feeling, the light and shadow, and other details such as gesture, a choice of clothing, or the way someone carries or express themselves. For selected projects, I collaborate with professional stylists and hair & make-up artists.

Analog photography is a conscious choice to slow down. I prefer shooting with Pentax 67 medium format film camera although at times I do use digital hasselblad as well. When there are only ten or twelve frames on a roll of film, the dynamic changes. Fewer frames encourage greater attention, richer conversation, and a more deliberate way of working. There is no hiding behind a continuous digital shutter; every image emerges from trust, presence, and intuition.

Portrait commissions begin at CHF 2’000 and include a consultation, an hour photography session in a photo studio or at your home, film processing, photographic editing, and a curated selection of final images. Printed portrait is available per request at additional cost. 

Commercial commissions, brand campaigns, and hospitality content productions begin at CHF 3’750. Please get in touch for more information.
