Moments pass — I make them visible with care, curiosity and attention.

I’m a photographer in Zurich, originally coming from Estonia. I create portraits and visual stories for people and teams whose work is grounded in presence and human connection.

I work in a calm and attentive way, creating space for you to feel at ease and be yourself. The images are natural, precise and grounded.

Each assignment is built on trust and close collaboration.

If you’d like to get in touch, you can reach me by email or phone — in English, German or Estonian. I’d be glad to hear what you’re currently working on — perhaps there’s an opportunity to collaborate.

Warm regards

Helen
