Hello and welcome to my page.
I am a Photographer who is over 40 years in business and still with great passion.
Apart working Commercially I do a lot shootings for my own work.
I am a travelling photographer home based in Zurich-Switzerland.
Today I am 64 years old. I have started photography at the age of fourteen with a camera I have received from my parents, at the age of fifteen I had my own dark room where I have started to develop black-and-white 135mm films. As you can imagine I belong to Analog photography generation.
In the early days I shot Landscape and Street photography, but soon I have realized that my passion is People photography, especially women.
I find women very fascinating, regardless their age, body shape, the looks, race etc.
In my very early twenties while studying at Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich, I switch to People photography.
I shoot on natural light. Indoors as well as Outdoors.
I shoot Portraits, Fashion, Body parts, Art nude, Boudoir, Lingerie, Swimwear.
Although photographing both in color and B&W for commercial work.
For my own work I love B&W and use very little touch up correction. NO PHOTOSHOP at all (again old school)
I do love photographing food as I enjoy a good food very much.
In addition to all above, during my travel for my shootings if time permits, I love to walk around the city and shoot Cityscapes which you will see few photos here as well.
It did not take me long to realise that if you are not among the top hundred photographers of the world and have great connections in the fashion industry, no way to earn money. Especially coming from Switzerland where these issues are neglected. So parallel to photography I started my career in the Aviation industry. It was a great opportunity for me to do what I love, travel and photography and climb up the success stairs in my job.
I ended up my employment carrier in 2004 as a high management member and started my own business, this gave me even more freedom. In other words I can not complain.
Besides being a photographer I am lecturer at art academy teaching Photography as well as guest lecturar at various Universities in Europe teaching leadership. passing my experiences to the new generation is so much fun and great responsibility.
Thanking you sincerely for taking your time checking out my page and reading my biography.
Best Wishes
Daniel
