Behind the Scenes

Every photograph has a story beyond the frame. Discover the places, moments and creative processes behind the WeylerArt collections.


URBAN STORIES — On Location

Finding the extraordinary in familiar places.

Travelling is as much about discovering atmosphere as it is about reaching a destination. I am drawn to places where history, architecture and everyday life meet — where weathered stone, unexpected light and quiet details reveal the character of a city.

In Bonifacio, Corsica, the contrast between the ancient citadel and the modern harbour caught my attention. A passing yacht, the massive limestone fortifications and the fading evening light came together in a moment that captured something distinctive about this Mediterranean town.

Photography often begins with simply being there, observing and recognising when the elements fall into place.

WILD ELEMENTS — In the Wild

Experiencing nature, not just photographing it.

Much of my nature photography begins far from the studio — beside mountain streams, on alpine trails or in quiet places where the smallest details can become unexpectedly fascinating.

Moving water is particularly captivating. Its energy, changing patterns and endless variations create moments that can never be repeated in exactly the same way.

Capturing these scenes often means working in demanding conditions: cold water, slippery rocks, changing light and the unpredictable forces of nature. Yet these experiences are part of what makes the photographs meaningful to me.

From the power of a mountain torrent to the delicate structure of a flower, I am searching for the extraordinary beauty that nature reveals when we take the time to look closely.

COSMIC VISIONS — From Earth to the Universe

Real photographs. Imagined worlds.

The origins of Cosmic Visions lie beneath the clear winter skies of the Swiss Alps. On cold, cloudless nights, I photograph the Milky Way and the full moon, capturing real fragments of the universe from here on Earth.

Other elements come from much closer surroundings — shapes, textures and structures found in the natural world.

Through digital composition, these separate photographs gradually become something entirely new. Familiar earthly forms transform into imagined planets, galaxies and celestial phenomena.

The process combines observation, photographic technique and creative experimentation. The resulting images are not astronomical documentation, but artistic visions inspired by the cosmos and rooted in real photography.
