Born in Switzerland in 1980, I moved back to India, my parents’ country of origin, in 2008. Overwhelmed by the sounds, colors, and overbearing human presence in this new environment after 28 years in calm Switzerland, I picked up the camera in order to make sense of all the chaos surrounding me.
After a few years of random snapshots, I came across the genre of street photography in 2014.
It was a revelation! This encounter opened my eyes to the endless possibilities the art of candid photography has to offer. From that moment, there was no turning back. My passion turned into an obsession, a quest to find the special moments that people so easily miss.
Over the last few years, I have been exploring the streets of the world. Wherever I go, the camera is an integral part of me, in my search for that “something” unique and quirky that only I can see. This is as much an exploration of the world around me as it is of my own self.
About The Collection
This set of images is part of a long-term project about Mumbai, the city I have been calling home for the last 12 years. Mumbai is one of the most diverse places I have encountered both in terms of culture as well as urban landscapes. I aim to give people a sense of this place through my photography and hope to turn these images into a book someday.
