Helvetas.
Helvetas is the largest Swiss development organization. I regularly visit their projects around the world for photos, reports and fundraising material. Here you find all the stories that I've photographed and written for the organisation's magazine Partnerschaft and other publications so far.
Rainbow Support Network.
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: People 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.
Ruedi Lüthy Foundation.
In 2003, the renowned Swiss AIDS specialist Ruedi Lüthy founded the Newlands Clinic for people living with AIDS and HIV in Harare, Zimbabwe. I regularly visit the clinic and its patients to collect fundraising material and general pictures and videos.
Biovision.
The aim of the Biovision Foundation is to improve the lives of people in Africa in a sustainable way and at the same time to protect the environment as the basis of all life. For its 20th anniversary, Biovision commissioned me to produce a calendar with photos and reports.
City of Kloten.
The city of Kloten, where the biggest Swiss airport is located, invited me to portrait a series of people who are connected to the airport - for the exhibition Flughafenstadtmenschen.
Carelink.
The Swiss foundation Carelink commissioned me to photograph the key visuals for its new corporate identity. Carelink supports companies and further institutions in the wake of extraordinary events, and provides emergency psychosocial care.
