!Bienvenidos a Orbisswiss Fotos & Prensa!
Since an early age, I was fascinated with photos. My father was an avid photographer, thus I grew up surrounded with cameras and photo albums. Living in the scenic canton of Fribourg (Switzerland), I took every opportunity to snap photos of relatives, local events, buildings and landscapes.
When I turned 18 years old, my dear mother Consuelo gave me a Nikon FTn camera with a Nikon 50 mm f/1.4 lens. I remember that exciting moment like it was yesterday. What an emotion to hold that 35 mm camera in my hands!
Nowadays, I rely on Nikon Z digital cameras (w/silent shutter), together with a variety of very sharp and fast Nikon fixed and zoom lenses.
During my first year at the University, I photographed some local events for the university newsletter. In this period, I relied on three lenses: Nikon 50 mm f/1.4, Nikon 180 mm f 2.8 and the legendary Nikon 105 f/2.5. Photos were generally taken with Eastman Kodak Tri-X 400 ISO B&W 35 mm. film and occasionally with Ilford 100 ISO B&W. These film rolls were developed and printed in an improvised dark-room in my university dorm room. Indeed, it was a special feeling seeing an image slowly appear on the paper, while being bathed in the developing fluid. Since being a teen-ager, my passion for photography has not diminished!
