Melanie, local photographer in Lauterbrunnen

Style:

I’m a photographer based in Switzerland, and I’ve been capturing people and their stories for several years. My style is flexible and adapts to what each client is looking for — from cinematic and film-inspired imagery to clean, timeless and commercial photography. What I love most, however, is creating images that feel like a real moment rather than just a posed photograph. I love playing with natural sunlight, creating depth and emotion, and helping people feel comfortable enough in front of the camera to simply be themselves. My goal is to create moments together that turn into meaningful memories — especially when surrounded by the Swiss Alps.

Likes:

I love photographing people within natural landscapes and using the scenery as an important part of the image. Especially in the Alps, I enjoy creating photographs where the people bring the landscape to life, while still making the location feel like an essential part of the story. When will you ever get the chance to take pictures in a place like that again?

Recommended places:

Some of my favorite locations are Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and in Kanton Bern in general. I know a few hidden spots away from the busiest tourist locations where we can take our time, feel comfortable and create something more personal. Even in popular places like Lauterbrunnen, there are quiet corners where beautiful, intimate moments can happen.

Languages spoken:

I speak English and German and would love to accompany you in creating photographs that feel authentic, emotional and truly worth remembering.
