About Me
A new beginning
Hello!
My “new beginning” has started in the third section of my life.
After retiring from my professional life as a general practitioner near Basel in Switzerland, I decided to improve my knowledge and experience in photography.
Swiss Photoclub in Zurich offered a fulltime Academy for several months, where I learned many technical skills and – even more importantly – where I received a broad introduction into the art of photography. Many thanks to all teachers for their great commitment!
Starting off in the world of photography is a humbling experience when I see the enormous talent around. I am constantly inspired by other photographers and feel very grateful to enter this world and create my own art.
To be awarded Licenciate of The Royal Photographic Society is a great
pleasure and a highly estimated recognition of my work. As all I’m very thankful to accepted the second time in February 2026 to the exhibition photoSCHWEIZ.

Artistic statement
My work represents the beauty and joy I feel. I endeavour to be honest and respectful of my subjects yet free in my expression.
I equally enjoy shooting different subjects and styles, though landscapes are my favourites.
“For me photography is to place head, heart and eye along the same line of sight. It’s a way of life”. Henri Cartier-Bresson
