My name is Lene Wichmann and I am a 36 year old wedding photographer from Switzerland. I am focusing on intimate photography as a form of selflove and personal development. This kind of photography came to me while I worked as a wedding photographer. I realised that it is intimacy between couples what fascinates me not the wedding itself. At the same time I went through my own processes - exploring my inner self, my feelings, my vulnerability. My work as a photographer and my desire to feel welcome and good as I am when getting into connection began melting into each other. I started creating photoshoots as safe exploration spaces for couples and women. Seeing people blossom and grow in front of my camera welcoming everything what is part of them felt and feels so fullfilling for me that it was clear to me to go all in and quit weddingphotography. It is my vision to enable people to get a new and loving view on their intimate expression, their bodies and their vulnerablity. Every photoshoot is a process which often starts long before we took a single picture and lasts far beyond the photoshoot. In the meantime I started photographing men aswell and I would love to integrate the gender subject into my work in the future. Thank you very much for your attention.
