Hi and welcome
Vividvista allows me to share some of my visual explorations of the world.
Based in Zürich, Switzerland, I like to travel and explore new places whenever I get the chance.
I first became interested in photography when I was a student – back in a time when light was still captured on film and images were developed and fixed in darkrooms.
Today I genuinely enjoy digital editing as an integral part in my creative process where I often discover new details that had previously escaped my attention.
Photography continues to be a fascinating adventure to me. I keep exploring and teaching myself simply based on what happens to capture my interest and imagination.
Be well and make sure to keep exploring your passions,
Let's get in touch:
