Claudia Albisser Hund

Claudia Albisser Hund is a professional photographer, specialising in food and still-life photography. Her passion for art and creativity led her to 4 years of studying photography in which she succeeded and started her own studio. With her method of photography, she aspires to touch people with simple, unspectacular pictures to trigger emotions.

After graduating from high school with a Matura in modern languages, I wanted to do something artistic and creative. After 4 years of studying photography, I started my own studio and while I specialised in food and still life photography, in my free artistic work I looked for my subjects in landscapes and nature.

I studied photography at the School of Applied Arts in Basel, Switzerland.

My first real photo was in the zoological garden where I accidentally observed the birth of a gnu and took a photo of it. I was about 8 years old.

I work with Fuji x-T3 cameras and natural light, in the studio with LED and flash light.

I want to touch people with simple, unspectacular pictures and trigger emotions.

When someone stands quietly and for a longer time in front of my photos and is absorbed.

I’m a dreamer and an observer, I’m inspired when there is nothing else in my head and I can spontaneously discover and realise my image. That’s usually when I’m alone in the nature.

Unspectacular, dreamy, and touching.

Thank you! It is a great honour and satisfaction that I have succeeded in touching others with my photos.

At the moment I am working on an exhibition project"the forest"and I regularly go into the forest at different times of the day and in different seasons. I don’t look for specific things, I let nature affect me, I dream, and my gaze searches for its subject, nothing exciting. It is usually a play of colours, textures, shapes, and light, as in this winning picture"in the fairy wood:"It is a photo that describes me very well.

People are starting to take an interest in my work. I’m getting requests for newspaper articles, requests for exhibitions and even a short sequence for television has been filmed.

Aron Jones with his light painting technique, Ansel Adams with his wonderfully perfect observations of nature in black and white, and among the modern photographers I really like David Baker with his forest scenes.

Observe, observe, and observe. You don’t need a camera yet. Once the image is in your head, you just need to push the trigger.

Let your creativity run free, leave tendencies on the side, and work from intuition.

Oh, if I only knew! I just stay true to myself, maybe that’s it!

I visit many exhibitions, I’m interested in painting and I like to paint myself too, I look left and right and I’m always curious when I discover something new.

Thank you very much for this platform, which makes it possible to present my work to an international audience.
