The unique landscape of a Jura forest is at its best under snow and with a rising sun, creating all these shadows…

Castle Chillon in Switzerland in the blue hour, right after sunset. We have the lights of Montreux in the background, reflecting in the mountain lake. Das Schloss Chillon bei Montreux zur blauen Stunde. Die Lichter der Stadt im Hintergrund.

The lake side promenade in Montreux is possibly one of the best places to see the different colors in the sky from day to night. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to witness such an amazing view of the sunset over the calm waters of Lake Geneva. The leading lines from the railings of the dock, in addition to the streaks from skydiving planes in the sky, really make this an interesting photo spot. In the home of jazz and the Chateau Chillon, it is perhaps unremarkable sights such as these that catch the eye the most.

Having lived in Switzerland for over 2 years, I was totally satisfied with having the Niesen as my favourite mountain… until I saw her.

Part of the Giger Bar in Gruyere, Switzerland and across from the Giger Museum this wall of babies is pretty creepy.

Even though there’s not that many places in Switzerland where you are only by yourself in the wilderness, I found some.

This is actually a picture shot on one of the coldest days in the recent meteorological history of Geneva, Switzerland. Of course, feel free to image this being at a warm beach!

My wife and I were travelling along a winding alpine pass in central Switzerland, anxiously navigating through a terrible storm, in hopes of catching a rainbow. With my wife driving, and I eagerly looking out the passenger window hoping to find a photo in the dense fog. We found the storm had broken on the other side of the valley with a gigantic rainbow! “Faster! We’re gonna miss it”, I exclaimed while my wife drove on - clearly more focused on the rainbow than the driving conditions. We came to a stop along the road, but alas, had missed the rainbow. The view was still worth it.

Going wild camping in the Swiss Alps is quite an adventure, especially when you need to find a flat spot which is large enough to receive your tent. But as in the Alps, slopes are dominating the scenery… This week-end I was lucky to find a nice place for my tent, but had some spectacular views on the surrounding mountains, like the one pictured here. Erosion, avalanches and rockfall dig deep canions in the slopes add to the character of this valley, following the “La Lizerne” river up to Les Diablerets.

So, we went to this mountain with a friend of mine because it’s near our village in Switzerland. We almost died twice before arriving on site, but it was worth it. The view was amazing and we had a great time. This hike gave me more motivation than I already had to go out and capture our beautiful world.

This shot was taken in Haute-Nendaz looking out over to the north of the Swiss alps. The clouds were magical that day.

We hiked up this mountain in Lenk, Switzerland to catch the sunset. There were all these flowers sprouting up like little stars when a week before there was nothing.

…we said and even though it was already 11pm we loaded our gear into the grey VW Polo and drove home to a colleague with having in mind to probably shoot some timelapses on the way. The results became awesome and we got some sleep while our cameras clicked their lapses.

Do you feel the cold? First fine layer of snow on the rocks between Kandersteg and Oeschinensee beginning of last winter.

My hard drive is full with “urban magic”. Well maybe just urban shots. I need some more training to apply “magic” because I am still working on my framing when I’m in cities. Too much landscape does this to you. At least I’am not afraid to experiment and dare to “kill the vibe” on my Instagram feed, every now and then.

After about one hour of hiking in the Swiss Alps, me and my friends made it to this gem of lake. We waited over two hours till the wind was not blowing that much. Suddenly the fog rolled in.

One of the most impressive lakes in Switzerland I’ve visited! We were photographing around the lake when suddenly the fog rolled in. It was an incredible amazing mood.

We were planning on having a small trek up Zinnal lake in Switzerland. But once we got on top we realize how lucky we were and how breath-taking the scenery was.
