Openair St. Gallen

I’ve been shooting at Openair St. Gallen since 2000 – every summer down in the Sittertobel. Capturing the vibe, documenting the madness, from magical moments on stage to full-on mud battles.

Kurban Eid al Adha

A raw, unfiltered look at the rituals of sacrifice during Eid al-Adha in Medan, Indonesia. These images capture the intensity of devotion, tradition, and community as animals are offered and distributed. Not for the faint-hearted—this is faith in its most physical form.

Sobre Mesa: Miso

A hands-on fermentation session led by chef Christine Syrad, exploring the art of traditional miso-making. Part of the «Sobre Mesa» series, this intimate workshop blends technique, taste, and time—fermentation as a slow conversation.

Once a pristine volcanic lake, it has become a contested space between big business and traditional fishing communities. I traveled to Lake Toba to photograph these dynamics—capturing both the lake’s striking beauty and the growing unrest beneath its surface.
