Two bodies of work. One conversation. At photoSCHWEIZ 26, I’m showing Devadasi and Theertham | two series shaped by ritual, movement, memory, and diaspora. One explores the body through gesture and presence. The other observes a temple ritual in Glattbrugg. What interests me is not nostalgia, but what remains. Between origin and the present. Between collective memory and a personal gaze. Kongresshaus Zürich 06 - 10 February 2026 https://www.photo-schweiz.ch #photoSCHWEIZ #werkschau #photography #exhibition zürich kongresshaus

KINETIC POETRY They stepped onto the world stage, and carried an entire culture with them. Proud. Powerful. Poetic. Before their unforgettable performance at World of Dance LA, we created this visual tribute, a moment of stillness before the storm. A celebration of identity, rhythm and resilience. So proud of these incredible women and how they represented with grace, strength, and unapologetic presence. This is just the beginning.

Swiss Creator Lab in Schlieren Still buzzing from the final set at @swisscreatorlab in Schlieren. I couldn’t make it to all the stations, but I did make it to @murielrieben set. And honestly… what a concept, what a vibe. A shallow water pool, a backlight piercing through the mist, another light with a grid above, one more sidelight shaping the form, minimal setup, maximum impact. She spoke about her fascination with cinematic scenes, the power of simplicity, and the stories light can tell. I had just chatted with her about her spontaneous Tesla photo shoot (that crazy cybercar chasing in the desert moment) and that energy definitely followed me into the set. Blade Runner meets brutalism. Akira meets Akropolis. In my head: synths, slow motion, soft chaos. The model, @teckybecky_ what a powerhouse. Martial artist. Stuntwoman. Dancer. Her presence was electric. Every pose, every move felt like a frame from a forgotten future. Huge thanks to @swisscreatorlab and everyone behind the scenes for pulling off such a mind-opening event.

BTS - CHIAROSCURO Behind the scenes from our Chiaroscuro shoot. Even with a strong concept and clear ideas before the shoot, so much still evolves in the moment. That constant exchange on set, trying things out together, reacting to the light, the styling, the movement and building on each other’s ideas is what makes projects like this so exciting for me. Very grateful for this team. The professionalism, the trust, the energy and the atmosphere on set were honestly something special from beginning to end.

CHIAROSCURO Look III - Velvet Noir For this chapter, the visual language shifted into something colder, sharper and more untouchable. The deep shadows remained, but the energy changed. Less fragmentation, more attitude. Less softness, more presence. Inspired by vintage noir cinema and 90s fashion editorials, this look explored the tension between elegance and emotional distance. Fur textures, dark silhouettes and sunglasses became armour, transforming the body into a sculptural figure moving through shadow and light. @_ylonabosshard carried this look with incredible control and intensity. Every movement felt deliberate, every gaze distant yet magnetic. Somewhere between old Hollywood, underground fashion and modern noir.

CHIAROSCURO | Look II - Fragmentation In this second chapter, chiaroscuro evolves from contrast into fragmentation. Light no longer only reveals and conceals, it breaks the image apart. Identity becomes layered, unstable, shifting between presence and abstraction. Together with @styledbylamu , we pushed the styling further into structure and movement. The silhouettes open up, fabrics expand, textures begin to react to light. Every piece was carefully selected and composed to amplify this tension between control and release. Her work once again brought depth and precision to the visual language of this series. Ylona carried this transformation with remarkable sensitivity. She moved between stillness and motion, allowing the body to dissolve and reappear within the frame. There is a constant shift between clarity and distortion, and she embraced that space fully, translating the concept into something both physical and emotional. Artistically, this look explores fragmentation through motion, reflection and light interference. The face becomes a surface, the body a repetition, the silhouette a memory rather than a fixed form. Red intensifies into something almost visceral, while black and white frames strip everything back to pure structure and gesture. Moments of sharp clarity collide with blurred transitions. A gaze appears, then disappears. A movement leaves a trace. The image is no longer static, it becomes temporal. This is not about showing identity, but about questioning it.

CHIAROSCURO -LOOK I Chiaroscuro, Italian for light and dark, is a visual language where light does more than illuminate, it sculpts. Shadows conceal, light reveals. Contrast becomes emotion, darkness becomes space, and light guides the eye. That idea became the starting point for this editorial. From that foundation, we developed the looks and styling together with the wonderful Lardina @styledbylamu . With an exceptional sense for shape, texture and presence, she curated every set, created each combination, sourced the pieces, arranged the orders and handled the full styling process. Her work was executed at an incredibly high professional standard. Talented, precise, and someone whose calm professionalism elevates every creative production. The wonderful @_ylonabosshard also delivered an outstanding performance. She stepped deeply into the role and embodied the concept with remarkable intensity and elegance. She understood the mood, the energy and the vision immediately, translating every idea into presence, movement and expression. She truly brought my concept to life in a way that exceeded expectations. Working with Nicole @nicisdiaries is always a pleasure as well. We have collaborated many times before, and every shoot brings fresh energy. Earlier that day we had already completed several productions before creating this final larger block, yet the energy on set remained focused and strong from the first frame to the last. Artistically, this first look speaks about posture and inner tension. The body leans into the light, suspended somewhere between resistance and surrender. The deep red feels like heat, danger and desire at once, while the silhouette nearly disappears into darkness. Only a few lines remain visible, enough to sense the form, never enough to reveal everything. That is where the image finds its strength.

The second part of the series features @s.shushaa and @chiara.marsella . I met them in real life the first time during a shoot near Bern, where we unfortunately did not have much time to create together. We stayed in touch and later arranged a session at my studio. It was exciting to bring both of them into the visual language of the first shoot with Meret, connecting everything under one style while photographing each of them individually, one after another. What I loved most was how quickly we were able to turn ideas into images, building moods in the moment, directing intuitively, and creating something honest within a short amount of time. It was a real pleasure working with both of them. A special thank you as well to the wonderful @nicisdiaries , who moved with incredible speed and precision through all the beautiful looks from the first part of the shoot. Her energy and work made so much possible. CONCEPT & PHOTOGRAPHY: @ondru.studios MODEL: @s.shushaa & @chiara.marsella MUAH: @nicisdiaries GEAR: @fujifilm_ch STUDIO: @izsogoodvisuals

AFTERLIGHT @meret.str and I had been wanting to create a project together for a while, we finally made it happen. The initial idea was very mystical, almost ethereal. Over time, we stripped it down and intentionally reduced it to this visual language. It was important to me that Meret felt completely comfortable throughout the shoot, while still creating a space where we could step into a different world. A place between control and letting go, between form and emotion. Light became emotion. Body became silhouette. Everything in between was allowed to just exist.

Zürich, du warst mehr als nur eine Strecke. Ein Puls, der durch die ganze Stadt ging. Vom ersten Schritt bis zur Ziellinie. Beim Zurich Marathon ging es nie nur ums Laufen. Es ging um diese Momente dazwischen, Blicke, die alles sagen, Körper, die über Grenzen gehen, und eine Stadt, die komplett mitträgt. Dieses Jahr stand ich nicht an der Startlinie. Eine Knieverletzung hat mich aus dem Rennen genommen. Aber ehrlich ich war trotzdem mittendrin. Mit Medienpass hatte ich Zugang zu all den Orten, wo die echten Geschichten passieren. Und ich habe es geliebt, wieder im Geschehen zu sein. Mit meiner Traum-Kombo: Fujifilm GFX100RF mit kleinem Godox Aufsteckblitz und der Fujifilm X-H2S mit meinem Lieblingsglas, dem 56mm 1.2 Energie. Emotion. Gemeinschaft. Das ist es, was bleibt. Und ganz ehrlich wir wollen mehr davon. . Zurich, you were incredible. More than a race. A city in motion. A community in sync. Couldn’t run this year due to a knee injury but being out there with full access, capturing it all, felt just as real. @zuerich_marathon @zkb_zuerilauf_cup @on @swica_gesundheitsorganisation @vitaminwellswitzerland @energy_ch @fujifilm_ch #ZurichMarathon #onrunning #RealRunnersRealVibes

SWISS CREATOR LAB | Vol. III So good to be back. This one felt special, seeing many familiar faces again, reconnecting, shooting together, and building on that energy. Big respect to @stteveenn for the insight into his work and the way he sees light and color. The workshop gave a real look into his process and how he approaches storytelling. Here’s a first look at the images from the workshop, featuring Symphony. Also a personal note, this was my first creative shoot fully on the @fujifilm_ch GFX100RF. At first it pushed me out of my comfort zone, coming from my usual XH2 + 56mm 1.2 setup. But that shift forced me to see differently, and I ended up loving it. Curious to hear your thoughts. Which one stands out to you? @swisscreatorlab × @stteveenn Supported by @canonswitzerland & @foto_zumstein Model: @symphony.norissa MUA: @annastern.mua Stylist: @l.eajoana Designer: @someemaria Gear: @fujifilm_ch
