ABOUT
meet the woman
behind the lens
I am a very positive and grateful person, and an avid and curious traveller. I love documenting multicultural clients and taking photos that portray the spirit and stories I learned from the people I meet. Photography is my lifestyle, one that I have learned to enjoy with full authenticity. I love people, listening to their stories, smiling and enjoying life each and every moment. In my opinion, a photograph is a little window into the photographer's soul and experiences. It is not merely a depiction of reality but a visual attempt to interpret how our hearts feel about the scenes, sounds, smells, colours and people we meet. It's our diary, it's us registering how we grow with every shot.

What's so unique about my approach?
Well, first MYSELF! I have been exposed to many cultures and speak 3 languages fluently. I am passionate and enjoy a good love story, I am romantic, empathetic and passionate. My approach to photography is very intuitive. I love my clients as family and I don't want them to plan their day around me but to have the time of their lives when we work together, and feel free to being themselves. I photograph your events with an important goal in mind: to document your stories and how it felt to be there. You don't need to decide your schedule based on the number of hours I will be present, but I will be documenting all stories possible during your entire day. I finish photographing when your story ends. I am centrally located in Switzerland but also cover weddings and other events worldwide. As long as a plane arrives to your event location, I will be there. I have documented weddings, events and portrait sessions in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, India, Morocco, Greece, Japan, Jordan, Thailand, USA.

PORTFOLIO
WORKSHOPS
& mentoring
My main job as a photography mentor is to take you on a journey, in which you will discover your authentic recipe, and what are those unique ingredients, that can help you advance in your career. If you are feeling confused, need to discover your style and clarify your vision, then we can work together, in person or via Skype.
I also offer private and organized photo workshops and retreats for people interested in learning and discovering the art of photography and different creativity methods.
Feel free to write me a message with a request on the next dates and for more information about the private courses. I often speak at international photography conferences, private workshops and retreats. Thus, feel free to contact me for a public speaking request.
"One of my favorite things in life is helping other photographers and creatives reach their highest potential. There is something magical about our profession: we are not competing against each other but with ourselves, our vision and our capacity to show our authentic self in every shot. We are contaminated with rules and trends, so much that we forget to show how we really see and feel the world."
