In the fog
The fog is a dominant phenomenon during late autumn in the swiss midlands. Nature appears reduced and often mystical. The way i love to photograph. This series was taken in the close surroundings where I live.

Biography
I work with analog photography, using large-format cameras.
I am fascinated by what happens when time, light and silence interact.
The slow pace of work demands patience and attention. It opens up space for perception.
I find my inspiration in nature, in the immediate surroundings, in transitions of light and weather, of proximity and distance.
I am not interested in the spectacular, but in the inconspicuous, the quietly present.
I consider myself a painter of light.
