The aesthetics of steel spring production
It smells like steel in the Egli feather factory. Thousands of metal springs are produced here. We documented the different steps with the camera.

Masterful creations of the Munotblick team put into perspective…
Client
Restaurant Munotblick, Feuerthalen
In the ten years since Daniel Riedener took over the Munotblick restaurant, he has developed the venue enormously. Today, he and his team prepare some of the most amazing dishes in the Schaffhausen area in one of the smallest kitchens in the region. Dani and Jeeva, along with their two apprentices Veronika and Orlando, cook like world champions. Indja, Corinne, and Fina ensure that guests feel at home at the table.
It was a great honor for me to photograph fifteen dishes prepared by Daniel, Veronika, and Orlando, as well as to photograph the team . The portraits are always shot in black and white. Their request was met with open ears.
«Are you sure?» - «Yep, it'll be fine.» ;-).
Leica – a look behind the scenes
Leica has given us a look behind the scenes: Some photos from the production of the legendary camera with the red dot

freelance work related to an article for fotointern.ch
Last fall, I had the unique opportunity to create a photo reportage about the production of Leica cameras and lenses. The result was not only the photo series but also an article, which you can read on our blog.

When an actress stands in front of the camera…
Client
Ana Xandry, Zürich
The photo shoot with actress Ana Xandry was really fun. Ana needs stills for her portfolio, and—as she confided in me—there's a big difference between being in front of a film camera and a still camera. For the portfolio, the photos need to be very minimalistic, both in terms of background and clothing, so that the actress's personality can fully shine through.

Interior design: renovated apartment in the canton of Schaffhausen
Client
imestis GmbH, Hemishofen
The imestis team is a master at renovating existing buildings. The results are always impressive. Here's an interior design example of a renovated property in the canton of Schaffhausen.
For me as a photographer, the challenge is to find a special camera position despite the sometimes limited space, to balance the mixed lighting situation so that the warm character of the room is preserved, and to correct converging lines. The latter is no problem with the Leica SL2, as the camera has a built-in function that compensates for perspective directly in the camera.
Table Tennis Club Neuhausen
Nathalia had to flee Ukraine. At the Neuhausen Table Tennis Club, she found a framework that helped her in many ways. Photo report for SAH Schaffhausen
Client
SAH Schaffhausen
Sports clubs are a crucial aid in the integration of people who have been forced to flee their homeland. Unfortunately, not all clubs are willing to open their doors to young people, many of whom still have limited German skills. Notable exceptions include the Schaffhausen Boxing Club , where we also conducted a photo report, and the Neuhausen Table Tennis Club, which has welcomed Nathalia into its training program.
Nathalia is putting in the effort, diligently learning German, and giving it her all in training. Both her German and her mental strength have improved enormously through the training. She's already leading her first training sessions and taking some of the pressure off the coach. Nathalia is already giving a lot back, and her training partners also appreciate her.
The SAH Schaffhausen is doing a lot to help refugees integrate into Switzerland. If we could award a rose like Schweizer Illustrierte does, we would give it to the SAH, but also to the sports clubs that offer such a great opportunity to foreign refugees who have fled to Switzerland. It's certainly a bit more challenging to integrate young women and men with limited language skills into training, but in most cases, the rewards are substantial.
Just like at the boxing club, Elisa Frey from SAH insisted on participating in the training. I was itching to get started, too, as I played a lot of table tennis as a kid (photos of me: Elisa Frey). After a few rallies, my old instincts and movements slowly returned, but of course, I had no chance against the outstanding Nathalia ;-)

Ariane
Sometimes photo shoots turn out completely differently than expected. That's what happened with Ariane's photo shoot...
Client
free project in collaboration with Ariane
I actually wanted to create a relatively classic portrait of Ariane for my series "(Extra)ordinary People," and we also planned for me to photograph Ariane in her firefighter uniform. Since Ariane brought along time, a few different outfits, and a desire to experiment, the result was a completely different set of shots. But first things first...

The black art
A kind of back to the roots: black and white photography for a black art company…
Client
Schaffhausen printing works
Although a lot has changed in the printing industry, the offset printing process is still based on the same principle: One or more colors - usually the four primary colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black - are applied to the paper. The ink is absorbed by cylindrical printing plates from the inking unit and transferred to a rubber blanket. The rubber blanket transfers the ink to the paper. The colors are translucent. This means that around 16.7 million shades of color can be mixed from the four primary colors. Because the printing process initially only ran in a single color, and the entire environment with the lead type and the black presses was rather dark, the printing process is still called "the black art" today. So it made sense to convert some of the images from the reportage for the Schaffhausen printing plant into black and white images - a bit of a back to the roots, so to speak ;-).
I took digital color photos with the Leica SL2 with the SL Summilux 1.4/50mm and the SL Apo-Summicron 2.0/35mm.
A very nice compliment
After the first photo shoot, the client was so impressed with the black-and-white images that he immediately booked a second shoot. And when I arrived for the second shoot, I saw that the printer had already produced postcards with images from the first shoot. That's a very nice compliment for me as a photographer.
The employees also had a very positive experience with the shoot. 14 days after the second shoot, I received a short message from Urs Wohlgemuth, the owner of Druckwerk Schaffhausen:
"Thank you so much for the fantastic shoots. I noticed how it gave our team a motivational boost. They're still talking about these photos."
Photo reportage with analogue character
Implementation of a photo reportage in analogue style
Client
Condecta AG, Winterthur
There are sometimes photographic subjects that really call for special image processing. This was the case with the photo reportage about MobiToils from the company Condecta: small, portable toilets that are placed on large construction sites in high-rise buildings. Because when a construction worker is working on the 16th floor of a high-rise, there is no toilet in the building, no elevator, and in some cases not even a staircase. Therefore, the company Condecta distributes small, portable toilets across the various floors. When three high-rise buildings are being built at once, that's quite a lot of toilets, which then have to be constantly emptied and cleaned by employees. Everything has to be done quickly, and it's a tough world on the construction site.
That's why I've prepared a small series of images with an analog look – fitting the theme, so to speak: black and white with vignetting and film grain. The good old analog days were beautiful after all ;-).
As always, I shot digitally in color with the Leica SL2. Everything had to be done quickly, so I shot with the two excellent SL zooms—the SL 16-35 and the SL 24-90mm.

Rust in its most beautiful form. The client requested a uniform roof and facade cladding made of CorTen steel panels with an irregular joint pattern. The CorTen steel panels rust very quickly on the outside but remain corrosion-free on the inside for several decades – some say even over 100 years. The building's location, setting, and architecture are exceptional.

Abassia Rahmani is a top athlete and member of the Swiss Paralympic Team. I saw a report about her last year and was very impressed by her personality. Now, as part of a Sony Alpha 1 test, I had the opportunity to accompany her for two hours during her training in an old factory hall. I wanted to capture some aesthetically pleasing images and a portrait of her. The time frame was tight, and I wanted to disturb her training as little as possible. We managed to capture some great shots, and it was a great privilege to meet such a wonderful person.
