Bio

Born and raised in Switzerland, I got into photography when I was 16, on my first solo (without parents) trip through Europe. My older sister had given me her ancient SLR Minolta camera, and seeing the world through that small rectangle of a viewfinder somehow changed things.

I did stints in Oxford, England, and Antigua, Guatemala, to get an in-depth education in English and Spanish - mostly though it was a feeble excuse to leave the Continent and see new cultures. That one time I jumped off a 330 foot bridge in France, only attached to a frayed bungy cord, however had very little to do with the thirst for education and more with the quest for adrenaline.

Later, I captured Italy, Spain, Greece, France, England, and the U.S. with that camera, until it suffered a tragically wet death during a torrential rain storm in a whitewater rafting camp in West Virginia.

Ever since that summer, a Canon (SLR or digital) has always been my faithful companion, accompanying me on adventures to places like Baja, Mainland Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Burning Man, and even once on a turbulent sailing trip from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas.

After moving to the U.S. in 1992, I tested the waters in a mid-sized photo stock agency (now merged with a larger company) and a tech book publishing company in the Bay Area. In 2002, I came to Bend, Oregon, fell in love with the area, and ended up moving here.

That year, I decided to take the plunge and go pro with my photography.

Today I'm fully committed to bringing only the most stunning imagery to my clients.

Emerald Bay Photography specializes in professional interior and exterior architectural photography that visually communicates a client's outstanding skills in the building, designing or decorating arena.

I also provide editorial, food & product photography, and occasionally cover sports and events.

I'm a frequent contributor to Bend Living Magazine, and Oregon Business Magazine and Log Home Design Magazine, and volunteer photographic coverage to Bend Film every year. My images have appeared in books, newspapers and national publications like Time Magazine, Via, Money Magazine, Eco Structure Magazine, Gusto, and Cascades East.

My stock archive is represented by Obsidian Stock, a fully digital photo stock agency based in Central Oregon - which I also happen to be CEO and photo editor of.

As a writer, I have written feature articles on food photography, architecture and lifestyle for magazines like Bend Living and Log Home Design Magazine, and keep a blog of photo-related news and musings.
