authentic
photography
When photography touches the heart: I am a photographer based in Switzerland and also travel the world to produce travel features. I am interested in the depth of photography: how can a story be told between the lines? What gives an image meaning? And how do emotions find their way into a photograph? Working with people and creating with light; capturing the magic of the moment is my passion.
In 2026, I was honoured to receive a silver medal in the Street Photography category at the VIENNA INTERNATIONAL PHOTO AWARD. In 2024, I was awarded the Swiss Photo Award in the Reportage category for my feature on a disappearing campsite on Lake Lucerne. I published the full story in the photo book ‘The Last Summer’ (German).
encountering
and capturing
As a photographer, I work with people and brands who want to present themselves in a genuine and authentic way. Without pressure and without forced posing.
For me, photography is a gateway to connecting with people and their stories. Making them visible means, for me, perceiving what is there in the moment. Fresh with every shoot, different every time. Always tailored individually to the subject, the location and the atmosphere.
I work with empathy and enthusiasm, keeping an open mind to everything that reveals itself when we allow space for it.
my approach
When I take photographs, I’m not just after the perfect shot, but what emerges in the moment. For me, photography is a sensory process: seeing, hearing, feeling, pausing. A co-creation with the subject.
I’m interested not only in what’s visible, but in what resonates beneath the surface. The spaces in between, the atmosphere, the emotions that give the images their meaning.

next workshops
for slow photography, reportage or silent retreats
At the moment, all my courses and workshops are in German. However, I can also offer photoshoots and workshops in English or in bilingual formats such as English/Italian or English/French (the second language will be incorporated through practice).

"Micha makes the invisible visible. Right from the start, she had the bigger picture in mind. The photo shoot was a truly wonderful experience, where Micha connected with us and instilled so much trust. We were able to let go and just be ourselves."

creating spaces
I don’t stage in the traditional sense. I shape the space, set the lighting or let it unfold. Playfully, creatively, and with the confidence that something genuine can emerge when people come together as equals.
Some images don’t come about because you seek them out, but because you’re ready to feel them.
