Book New Silk Road.

For my new photojournalistic book Die neue Seidenstrasse - Chinas Weg zur Weltmacht, I travelled along the New Silk Road from Shanghai in China to Western Europe.

Documentary Japan.

Public Swiss tv SRF accompanied me when I was traveling all around Japan for my book Japan - Abseits von Kirschblüten und Kimono.

Book Japan.

In my book, Japan - Abseits von Kirschblüten und Kimono, I show Japan in a way that's different from the way a tourist may explore it. It's a very personal Japan.

Helvetas.

Helvetas is the biggest Swiss development organisation. I'm commissioned to visit its projects around the world as a photojournalist regularly.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières MSF.

For Doctors without Borders I visited the Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh, the world's largest refugee camp.

Uganda.

Incited by radical American evangelists, political leaders in Uganda intended to introduce the death penalty for homosexuality. This was only prevented thanks to international pressure. But still, homosexuality is illegal in Uganda, like in many other African countries. The law is exceptionally harsh: Men and women who get caught in a homosexual act face up to 20 years in jail. Related parties and landlords who don’t denounce known LGBTI persons to the government are sentenced to seven years in prison. I travelled to Uganda on behalf of the foundation Rainbow Support Network.
