A foggy owl sees the world differently. That's the point. When it can, it looks closely and patiently for the scene to reveal itself — but sometimes there is a feeling, a feeling that something is there, and the owl moves before it knows for sure.
None of this is new. I've been working this way for over twenty years — long before I had a word for it. Other photographers noticed it. So did Canon, when they featured me in one of their campaigns. I didn't think much about it then — it was natural to me. That's how I saw the world — as a foggy owl.In practice, it's about finding something unique in a scene — and then working on it to reveal it, even if it means breaking rules most photographers learn early and never question.

I am a photographer based in Switzerland. I have been drawn to cameras since childhood — exploring photography whenever I could get my hands on one. For the past twenty years, I've been serious about it.
My photography is less about genre. It is about finding something unique in a scene — and then working on it in-field or during post to reveal it, even if it means breaking rules most photographers learn early and never question. I'm self-taught, which probably explains it.
I have always been working this way — long before I had a word for it. Other photographers noticed it. So did Canon, when they featured me in one of their campaigns. I don’t think much about it, it is natural to me, and that's how I see the world - as a foggy owl.
It just sees the world differently. When it can, the owl looks closely and patiently for the scene to reveal itself — but sometimes it has a feeling, a feeling that something is there, and the owl moves before it knows for sure. It just sees the world differently. Thats the point.
