Welcome to my creative world, where every image is a canvas for art and emotion. I began my photographic odyssey in the mid-1990s with a Minolta XD7 and a passion for concert photography, influenced by the magic of Kodak T-MAX black and white films. Even in the digital age, I have never abandoned the soul of traditional photography. My passion is still black &amp; white, which I often, but not exclusively, use in architecture, landscape, portrait, reportage and street photography. Since 2010, I have been sharing my experience and passion in numerous workshops and lectures. These events are not just about teaching you the technical usage of a camera - I may guide you to technical finesse, but our journey together goes deeper. It's about nurturing your creative voice, shaping your unique point of view, and bringing your artistic identity to center stage. My personal inspiration is enriched by an extensive collection of original prints and photo books. If you want to capture that specific moment in time, fill your images with emotion and embark on a photographic journey that crosses time and space, let's embark on this adventure together. I invite you to explore my portfolio, talk to me, take part in my workshops, and discover the art that awaits you - because in every picture there is a story that wants to be told.

It is all about connecting – that is what photography stands for.
Daniel’s first camera ever was actually an Apple iPhone 3G S. Starting in 2014, mobile photography has helped him to gain an easy and playful access to photography and to express his strong design sense and intuition for aesthetics. Ever since, Daniel wants to connect people with their environment to illustrate the soul of a place. By using all kinds of compositional and harmonic elements such as lines, forms, patterns, light and proportions, Daniel playfully educates the viewer that beautiful and artsy moments can be found everywhere and at any time.
In his approach as a quiet photographer, he mindfully observes the environment to capture random occurring and fleeting moments. Putting his captured impressions into a temporary spotlight, visually isolated from the surrounding chaos, he carefully masters the balancing act of getting an aesthetical interpretation without creating a posed appearance and highlighting the surprisingly appealing strangeness of a place.
As part of this concept, he intentionally uses his smartphone only. For Daniel, it is crucial that mobile photography is immediate and reactive and allows him to create visual stories and sensitive insights without disturbing the environment. In 2019, some of his work has been shared by Apple and Adobe. In addition, his work has been awarded at the International Photography Awards (Smartphone Category) and as Grand Prize Winner of the Mobile Photography Awards. One of his pictures, taken with his iPhone, made it to the Shortlist of the renowned Sony World Photography Awards.

Besides the mountains and Swiss architecture, which form the main body of work, his portfolio holds projects across the entire Alpine region and beyond.

A Pharmacist by education and a photographer by trade, my journey started in Denmark after moving there from my home country Egypt where I started to look at photography as a career option, not just a hobby. Moving to Switzerland fuelled this passion with an environment that allows capturing the most memorable emotions wrapped in the most breathtaking landscape. It was also when I got certified from the New York Institute of Photography through their online program. I now have a studio in Reinach BL, and enjoy taking portraits of individuals and businesses, with a particular interest in digital art and more extravagant, creative portraiture.

Nowadays, landscape and street photography are her way to relax after a long day or hard week.For Flavia, Photography is a means to experience the wonders of this world in all its details.Interesting fact:<ul><li>Flavia is also a salsa teacher and passionate social dancer</li><li>The name Flavia comes from the ancient romans and means “the blond one”, so there is hardly a blond joke she hasn’t heard yet.</li></ul>

Starting with the analog technology up to today’s smart phone photography, I am fascinated by photography. As a physics lab technician I immersed myself in the world of photography during my apprenticeship. With an illustrative approach I started to take pictures. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in aviation, I began to look beyond the fence of safety and logic.Passionate about culture and art, people and nature, I focus my life on telling stories in the form of photographs – often accompanied by text. Virtuosity and imagination play a bigger role on this playing field than calculability and logic, and I enjoy communicating this. Since 2012 I have been working as a freelance photographer, mainly in the fields of winter sports, travel and documentary photography.

Philipp Funke discovered his passion for photography in his early childhood. Coming from a family of architects, his interest in the interplay of formal and social aspects was fostered.

Photography took an important part in my life while I was studying engineering, because I started to work as an assistant to earn some side money, but it soon grew to be the its pivotal element.As assistant in Milano I enjoyed the best of the profession working alongside with professionals in almost any field, architecture, industrial, fashion, still life, and then after opening my studio, I kept experimenting and working.Witnessing the transition to digital was just fun, I could add yet another skillset to my experience, while retaining my vision.I live in Basel since six years, and I am working for industrial companies, architecture studios, and a wide array of different clients.For the last 10 years I have also been shooting long lasting time-lapses projects depicting a number of subjects, from art installations, to industrial montage or building renovation.

My love of nature and the beauty of the world that surrounds us inspire my photographs. I have a special interest in landscape photography. My photos are characterised by the attention to detail and the observation of light and shadow, which in combination result in beautiful creations. My aim is to represent a mood and a landscape in such a way that the character of the landscape and its uniqueness is preserved. In contrast to a work of art, I don't want to create anything new, but to represent the landscape in the best moment for my taste. The courses give me the stimulation and the exchange that is important in my work, to remain curious and to keep breaking new ground.

I was born in Italy and had the luck to live in sone of its most beautiful cities: Rome, Venice, Florence and Milan. My official job is civil engineering, beside it I always cultivated my love for all forms of art. I studied acting in Milan and participated in several&nbsp;TV commercials and theater shows… till I found the true art form in photography thanks to Swissphotoclub. I live in Switzerland for 14 years with my family and it was in Zurich, that I picked up an old Reflex camera, felt in love with it and started taking my first courses…. Since then&nbsp;I haven't stopped. More courses, workshops, photo trips until the first direct contacts from agencies that have engaged me for advertising and marketing photos. The beauty! Photography has allowed me to see it everywhere, frequently in the most unexpected places. I walk the streets always with a camera looking for moments to steal, looking for beauty. I love Streetphotography, in all its forms: the minimalism in the geometries of a street, the reflections, the lights and shadows, the details but also the stories that the street can tell us.

I then worked in the financial sector for over twenty years in Geneva, London, New York and Zurich. After a sabbatical, I decided to take a new path and teach myself web design.As a web designer, it is a matter close to my heart to realize the individual wishes of my customers as versatile as possible. That's why I started to work intensively with Photoshop. Through this process, I not only discovered my artistic streak, but I also learned how to be successful on social media. I got the chance to work with international agencies, brands and artists. These exciting developments have awakened my passion to develop myself continuously. A current and fascinating topic is artificial intelligence and its exciting applications in the world of image creation and editing. I am curious how this new challenge will inspire me and enrich and change my work.
