Each image in Animals in a Changing World begins with a wildlife photograph I took in the field. In the studio, I work with prints of these photographs, adding light, water, ice, fire or optical elements before photographing the arrangement again. Some of these experiments required techniques I developed myself. No elements were digitally added or removed in Photoshop, and no AI was used.
Through these transformations, I explore the pressures animals face, our influence on their habitats, and the ways our perception can mislead us. The encounters are real; the studio work gives me another way to express what they make me think and feel.
Created as my final project at the Swiss Photo Club Academy in Zurich in 2025, this series invites you to look closely, be curious and find your own connections.
