I am a self employed photographer based in Bern, Switzerland.
In 1978 I was born in a small village in the Emmental, Switzerland.
In 1998 I graduated as a professional advertising photographer in a studio in Bern and visited the school of art Bern. After 8 years of commercial work and lots of traveling I had the opportunity to start working as a photojournalist for a local newspaper. Soon after i had assignments for national and local newspapers as well as for a national sports agency. 
In 2004 I joined Reuters Switzerland and moved in 2009 to London as a Reuters staff photographer where I covered major events in the UK and around the globe.

Since summer 2017 I am back in Bern as a self employed photographer.
