Hochzeitsfotograf Daniel Zihlmann – Fotograf Hochzeit Blog Zürich – Bern – Genf – St. Moritz – Basel – Luzern – Lausanne

Lately I received more and more emails from fellow photographers that were seeking some advice, help or just a personal contact to share some thoughts, ideas or the vision of our business in the future.

I enjoyed every single contact and thought it would be a good thing to meet all those nice people in person and let them connect with each other too. Best to be done while having dinner and a cold beer or a non-alcoholic drink at hand. I personally prefer a drink called “Hurricane”. Don’t expect it to be non-alcoholic :)

The date is set to March 13, 2008. The first host city will be downtown Bern aka “La Capital”. If you need a place to stay over night, we will find you one. I expect several people coming from the Zurich area, so there will also be the possibility to share a car and have a warm-up chat on the way.

Just send me an email if you want to Share Your Power and I will let you know the details.

Hope to see you soon!

Yesterday I received an email from Beth. She’s a photographer from Australia and currently based in London. She asked if I mind if she asked me for some help. Beth will be shooting a destination wedding in Switzerland for an Australian couple and needed some advice about the wedding photography market here in Switzerland.

Of course I do mind! I definitely wanted to help her and provided all advices I could :)

Beth, I hope you will have a great time shooting this destination wedding here in Switzerland!

By the way, Beth Jennings is an awesome wedding, portrait and travel photographer! Check out her website at www.bethjennings.com.au

Maybe you already noticed this new orange button on my blog and were wondering what this ‘Dinner for One’ thing is about. Here comes the truth.

Lately I get more and more requests from people that read my blog or enjoy my website. May be aspiring amateurs or pro photographers or just people that enjoy photography. They ask about what equipment I use, how I do post production, where I get my albums done, how to do online proofing and more.

I remember very well how difficult it was to find out all these things by myself when I started. It took me a long time for research and I had to go through some bad experience. Sharing is not really a common practice in Switzerland. At least not yet.

For my part I really like to share (read in this post why) and also enjoy to connect with new people. I think to have lunch or dinner together is the perfect occasion to socialise and network. Just have some good food and chat. Ever read Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi? If not, start now!

So, here comes my offer: Invite me for a ‘Dinner for One’. You can ask me whatever question you like and I will tell you all the secrets (just business secrets of course, not my personal ones ;-)

It doesn’t have to be an expensive restaurant. Just feed me! Once in a while I might even accept fast food. But it would be worth to take some more time, so you can ask all the questions you have. You can choose the location or invite me to your house if you are a good chef in the kitchen (please send some referrals before :-)

To share with me a ‘Dinner for One’ just write me an email or give me a phone call. I’m excited to meet you!

Best,
Daniel
