Christo Redentor
One morning the customer I was shooting for in Rio told me, you have to go up there and shoot the “Christo Redentor”. After the racing days we had only cloudy days and only 2 of them left before flying home. In a good moment with the clouds disappearing I grabbed a taxi and off [...]
Getting Ready for the Cup
Since a while Daniel Forster and me we started to work together on projects, this give us the chance to cover more complex shootings easier such as for example the 33rd Americas cup. The distances are so big it’s impossible to shoot at the start and then being on time also at the weather mark. [...]
Your Still Camera Also Does Great Video!

Photoshooting with Karin Jaggi
Last week I had the chance to spend 2 days with Karin Jaggi 27 times windsurf world champion in Turkey Alacati on the PWA Tour. I didn’t know what to expect although I had some clear ideas about the images I want to bring home. How will it be? With so many titles is she [...]

Always look twice
Yesterday on flight back from the Audi Medup in Cagliari I found this picture. It’s a sunset on the Hirzel one of my favorite shooting place.

No salt no waves instead light and shadows
Sometimes I do complain about the waves and the salt on the camera. A few weeks ago I had the chance catch in images the work of the talented architect Bruno Huber from Lugano. Here the challenges are light and shadows, corners etc. It’s an old Walser house in Klosters, Serneus build around the 1700 [...]
