Sportsphotography - the fight at the finish line

Every year, the company triathlon takes place in Zurich, where companies can participate in a shorter version of the usual Ironman distance. When my colleague at Deloitte mentioned that they still need a photographer for the even,  I was immediately up for this job. They had 38 teams participating at the event and the overall mood on the day was great. 

Photographing a sportsevent was a first for me and little did I know that I will be ending up running like the sports participants as well :) It was hot, it was crowded and my gear was heavy. Nevertheless I was fighting for the best spots to get the best shots!

I really enjoyed the day, and am looking forward to next years event at the "Landiwiesa", see you there...

  

 

#dasischzüri - Zurich's biggest photo exhibition

The city of Zurich announced a photography competition in April with the aim to send in photos of Zurich, showing the city in a urban, international, fun and open way. Apart from the usual touristy pictures which show the lake and the churches.

With this mission I spent a day in the city, looking for different places, walking down side streets and hidden corners to capture Zurich. In the end I submitted 3 of my photos with the hopes that 1 one them will be selected for the top 100. The top 100 photos will be displayed for a period of time all over Zurich, printed on large wallpapers.

Well, I was very proud that 2 of my submitted photos were selected for the top 100 and displayed in Zurich :) Great to see your work haning on a wall. At the end of May, Radio Top announced the overall winner (Christian Ruosch) during an evening finnisage.

Overall a great experiance which makes me believe in my work and continue to look for the perfect shot.
