Porrentruy, Switzerland Also serving: Weil am Rhein (Germany)

I’m Kristof, a photographer based in Switzerland. I don’t chase trends or perfection. I’m drawn to presence, to something unguarded, a quiet intensity, a moment that doesn’t ask to be looked at but stays with you once you’ve seen it. My focus is portraiture, but not in the classical sense. I don’t photograph how someone looks. I photograph what echoes. The way someone holds their breath. The pause before they speak. The flicker of distance in their eyes. I don’t direct much. I don’t talk much. I wait. Until something shifts. And that’s when the image happens. Some pictures are precise. Others feel like fragments. I never know in advance. But I know the difference between something posed and something real. That’s the only thing I care about. Photography isn’t my profession. It’s my way of paying attention, to others, and maybe also to myself. Everything I submit here carries that same question: Was something alive, or was it just well lit?

Hi! I’m Sarah, born in 1980 and mother to three wonderful, now grown-up daughters. Photography became an important part of my life after the great loss of a loved one. It made me realize how valuable a photo can be—a lasting memory that brings so much comfort in times of grief. When working with children, I love their pure spontaneity. When they feel free in front of the camera, something magical happens. Capturing that uninhibited joy is truly special. Young people radiate energy and playfulness, sometimes with a hint of insecurity. I help them relax so they dare to show their true selves—whether it’s a spontaneous laugh or a dreamy gaze. That’s when their personality really shines. Adults are often critical of themselves, but I show them how beautiful they are just as they are. In a relaxed atmosphere, with subtle guidance, a strong and natural portrait emerges. I make sure you look your best while staying true to yourself. Seniors carry so many stories within them. Every wrinkle tells a tale, every glance radiates warmth. I capture them with pride and tenderness—sometimes with a mischievous sparkle in their eyes.
