Switzerland: photo shootings in special locations! I tell you how my journey started!
With a combination of lakes, mountains, charming villages and beautiful valleys Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
Switzerland is a very nice country, no matter the season. I feel very lucky to live here and be able to offer outdoor shootings any time of the year. Who could say that the following photos was taking the 5th of January?
I live close to Luzern in a little village in the countryside. I have started my journey in photography offering photo shootings in the fields around my house, in the forests where the sunlight filters through the trees or constantly looking for little spots that look to me like hidden gems (one of my favourites is the tiny lake here below).
Thanks to Instagram and its power to get to anybody in the world I got the first request from a nice family from California for a shooting in the Lauterbrunnen area. After few messages with R. trying to tell her it was not an area I covered as too far and probably I wouldn’t be able to give her what she was looking for (I am not familiar with the light on high altitude), I accepted with a bit of fear.
R. gave me the confidence, encouraged me and leaving me free to organize the shooting.
I of course went to see the location before the shooting and felt in love at first sight with the magnificent mountains around the valley.
I am so thankful for this opportunity and to have met special people on my path that gave me the trust to try and grow.
Here started my project “special locations”, that doesn’t mean that the magical forest here around is not, it’s just that these places are different and probably the locations tourists want to see when they come to Switzerland.
I felt a tourist myself visiting these places, asking locals for advise, researching in internet. I do remember meeting a guy waiting for a cable car who told me he visited all the places around Lucerne by walk and knew many amazing spots.
I of course asked him more and he gave me many tipps, thanks a lot if you are reading ;-).
I finally listed four locations I am starting to offer from this spring and would love to add a couple more that I still need to visit and try.
These photo shooting are of course open to people coming from abroad who want to soak up the beauty of this country during its journey but also to my existing clients clients who want to organize a shooting in a special spot or in a dreaming location that happen to be their city or the area where they live or grew up.
Here are the locations you can book:
- Luzern city; you can combine it with a spot with panora maview from above
- A little gem around Luzern
- Klewenalp
- Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, Gimmelwald
As said I am going to add to more locations before this summer, I will keep you updated.
