Despite this background, she got into photography late and, in , joined a local camera club where she met a group of talented photographers and was inspired to dive deeper into the art of capturing moments in time. She attributes part of her success as a photographer to switching from heavy and cumbersome gear to a camera system that is lighter and more versatile. She is particularly interested in macro photography, especially in the art of capturing water drop refraction.
Now, everywhere she goes, it is with her trusted OM1 by her side. Accompanied by her camera, she likes to wander the forests of New Hampshire in search of its inhabitants. Documenting nature and slowing down from the hustle and bustle of life has opened doors to the unseen world and become an addictive passion.
I love to spend time in nature so that's my main source of inspiration. The real adventure in macrophotography lies beneath our feet, under the leaves and branches, between the flowers and the moss.
Being in nature with my camera and macro lens instantly stills my mind and brings me in a state of flow and calmness. In my network I have many great women who inspire me over and over to question my own limits, to try new things and to break through certain stereotypes. With my work as a photographer in the rather male-dominated outdoor sector and also with my volunteer community swissmountaingirls, I would like to make my contribution to seeing more women on the mountain in general and also specifically behind the camera in the future.
I love to show some artistic point of view in my photography. One of my own favorites is Red-crowned Crane photographed in Hokkaido before covid. It combines two things which are important for me - artistic view and recognizable nature. Same style but very different photo shows Eagle Owls double exposure of one Owl from last winter. Also simple, artistic but recognizable. These are meant to be artistic not accidentally made like we can see too often in nature photography.
