Gary Fong Arrived In Switzerland
Thursday, August 21, 2008 – 18:49
Finally Gary Fong arrived in Switzerland – or at least his famous flash diffusors. I just don’t know why in this Swiss camera store they sell the quite a bit aged Lightspere and not his newest and more sophisticated model Whaletail. And what irritates me a bit is that in the comparison photo in the window the girl smiles more if the picture is taken without Gary Fong’s flash diffusor…
Actually it was this “little piece of plastic” (patent pending) that brought me into wedding photography. Some years ago I wanted to improve my flash photography and surfed the web for some research. Quite fast Gary Fong’s name popped up and I started to read his blog. It turned out that he was in the wedding photography business for a lifetime and his name was very well known in the industry. Or to say he was famous.
So I bought my first Lightsphere directly from Gary in Canada through his e-store. I followed his blog that led me to other well known wedding photographers in the US and worldwide. With the time all pieces came together like in a puzzle. I was addicted to wedding photography and decided to specialize in photographing happy people. As Gary explained once why he loves to be into wedding photography.
Thanks Gary, to show me the way and welcome to Switzerland!

Zsa Zsa Rules The World
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 – 21:09
The first child changes everything in the parents’ life. Now there is someone else taking the decisions. It’s not the parents’ decision anymore when they will go to bed at night or at what time they will get up in the morning. Suddenly the whole world looks very different and they will start to see it from another point of view. Zsa Zsa rules the world :-)
For the photographer invited to photograph a baby session it’s the same. Zsa Zsa wants to eat – you drink a coffee. Zsa Zsa wants to take a nap – you chat with the mum. There’s no hurry, there’s no pressure. It doesn’t help. You just wait. Zsa Zsa rules the world :-)
Welcome to the world, Zsa Zsa!
Welcome, Luana

In January last year I had the pleasure to photograph Janek, the first child of my best friends Michael and Eveline. It was my first “assignment” as self-employed photographer since I started my own business in 2007. With Janek’s images in my portfolio I was able to start and book some weddings and other portrait and baby sessions. Now it was time for the second round :-) Luana was born two weeks ago and Janek thinks it’s really cool to have a little sister!
Welcome to the world, Luana!
Dominique & Frédéric (Engagement Session)
Monday, August 18, 2008 – 11:07
Dominique and Frédéric recently moved from Zurich to my hometown Berne so it was great to shoot their engagement session here and show them some nice spots in the old city of Berne that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Enjoy!
