‘Gesichter & Geschichten’
Every couple of weeks Sprachcafé takes place at different locations around Basel, Switzerland, where local volunteers meet foreigners for a cup of great coffee and a chat to help them improve their German speaking skills.
After two years of attending and documenting Sprachcafé meetings I have taken on a more personal photo project, which resulted in a series of portraits showing Sprachcafé’s colourful community. Every portrait is also accompanied by a short statement which you can find on Sprachcafé Basel Instagram account.

Photo series ‘Same But Different’ is a personal photo project that I took on, when global pandemic was declared in March 2020, also beginning of the first lockdown in Switzerland. Imposed restrictions, self-isolation, uncertainty and fear of unknown altered our world dramatically, bringing a lot of difficult feelings.
As the world stood still, photography proved to be a great source of solace and inspiration. Documenting my immediate surrounding – at home or on my regular bike outings in Basel – helped me get out of my head and thinking, and into my body and sensing, grounding me into here and now.
Creating my own safe space, I found beauty in everyday objects and ordinary scenes that are otherwise easily forgettable. Photos of familiar, yet guarded encounters demonstrate my effort to make peace with the things I cannot control.

Viewpoint: From Where I Stand, Ljubljana
Never have I ever done a shoot 900 km away from the person I was supposed to photograph—until I was asked to photograph Janja Garnbret, world champion climber and Olympic gold medalist.
In 2020, with everyone in lockdown, Janja was at her home in Slovenia and I was in Switzerland. Despite being over 900 km apart, we managed to pull off the shoot smoothly. Janja tied her phone to a bag of flour and patiently followed my voice instructions: “A bit to the left… good, now push your hair away from your face… perfect, turn slightly to the side… lean in a little toward the camera…”
