ABOUT

Caroline is a photographer and filmmaker. She tells stories through reportage, film, and independent visual projects, guided by a simple belief: what truly moves us has the power to move others.

As an alpinist, her work is partly rooted in alpine environments. At the same time, she is deeply interested in social, cultural, and human questions that extend beyond geography. Her photographic work spans reportage and portraiture, both editorially and on commission. In film, she works as a director and cinematographer.

Alongside her independent practice, Caroline is Director of Studies for Photography & Visual Storytelling at MAZ in Lucerne and teaches at the Leica Academy Switzerland.

With an academic background in sociology, media studies, and literature, she continues to reflect on how stories are told, shared, and sustained. She advocates for the visibility of meaningful photojournalistic work and for the importance of strong public platforms as a foundation for a functioning democracy.

Born in Biel/Bienne and raised in Grenchen, a watchmaking town shaped by migration and industrial labor, she encountered diverse lived realities early on. This continues to shape her perspective today: she works in multilingual and international contexts, values the local, spends extended time in the mountains, and lives in the heart of the city of Zurich.
