My son’s rock band had their first concert at 2 pm on a street market in a little Swiss town in front of a small audience of family and friends. Nevertheless the singer gave all her efforts which would have also pleased the crowd in a full stadium.

The overarching theme of my photography is the children’s game “I see something you don’t see”, as I try to capture the special in the everyday. I like regular shapes and structures of any kind. I further have a weakness for the ephemeral as well as for animals and plants. In my street photography people are interchangeable anonymous actors, hence you typically don’t recognise their faces. Animals are part of the city life and their irregular activity contrasts with the regular forms of streets and buildings, whose leading lines ideally aim for a corner of the picture.
