Honest, artful photography
For more than a decade I've been photographing people — it began as a way of holding onto everyday moments and never really stopped. From editorial portraiture to personal projects and commissioned shoots, my work centres on the actual person in front of the lens.

I've been photographing people since I was a kid in Switzerland — it began as a way of holding onto everyday moments and never really stopped. These days I work between my Melbourne studio, client commissions and personal projects, but the aim's always the same: photograph the actual person, character and all.
I work best collaborating closely with people and brands who want images that feel like them.
Authentic imagery for professionals who want to be seen as themselves — warm and real, not stiff corporate headshots. The keepers come once you forget the camera.
Loose, unstaged, narrative photography for brands — golden-hour light and a natural lifestyle feel made for social media and lookbooks, not the studio.
Work made without a client brief — an exploration of light, texture and the shapes that result. From natural-beauty studies on the coast to urban Melbourne portraits, this is the raw creative vision.
Whether you're seeking imagery for an editorial feature, a brand campaign, or a deeply personal project — I'd love to explore how we might create together.
