About me

Find out more about me and my gear!

Hi, I'm Giles!

I'm based in Switzerland, where I work as a lawyer — a profession I find both intellectually stimulating and rewarding. Alongside that, photography has become an essential part of my life.

I started exploring visual storytelling through stop motion videos when I was about 10. Over the years, that early curiosity evolved into a real passion for capturing the natural world. In 2018, I began investing in better equipment and started spending more of my free time hiking, observing, and photographing landscapes and wildlife.

A trip to Tanzania in 2020 sparked a deeper fascination with wildlife photography. I was struck by how a telephoto lens can bring out such intricate detail — all while respecting the animal’s space. I’m especially drawn to those brief, almost invisible moments a camera can freeze: a flying droplet, a cloud of dust, or a fleeting expression.

Since then, I’ve often used camouflage clothing during my outings, allowing me to blend into the surroundings and quietly witness animal behavior that would otherwise be impossible to observe.

Through photography, I’ve found not just a passion, but also a way to reconnect with nature and appreciate its beauty.

I’m grateful for every opportunity to be out in nature with my camera, and I hope you find as much joy in looking at my images as I do in creating them.
