Strobel - Professional Profile
When
i was 8 years old somebody from my family gave me a new 35 mm. Automatic
Olimpus, since that happened i had always a camera with me.
I
have been travelling around Spain since '97, especially Andalusia, where
I grow up after living 8 years in the country where I was born: Switzerland.
All this experiences in Andalusia contribute to form “Rural life in Andalusian
Farms” (2001). At this time I was studying arts in Andalusia at the “Escuela
de artes y oficios” in Xerez de la Frontera with specialization in Design.
After
that, I realized my first trip around south East Asia especially Laos and
Thailand for start photographing “people at work, people of the mountains
and people and buhdism in south east Asia”.
After,
I moved to Madrid where I finished my Visual arts degree. At this time
I was contributing to a project called “Urbanscapes of the city of
Madrid” culminated with an exhibition. This also helped me to have an even
more extense stock of architectural photography.
In
the summers of 2002 and 2003 I spent several months travelling around Europe,
specially France, Belgium and Amsterdam, photographing the Europeans Capitals
as more “off the beaten track” towns and cities like Bruges or Marigny.
In
the year 2004 I moved to London, where I’m actually living and working
as a freelance Photographer and Digital Designer. In June of 2004 I made
my second trip around south East Asia for finish the report I have
started two years ago.
Now
I am planning my next report: and intensive trip down the Mekong River,
from China to Vietnam with the intention of make an extensive report about
the life of the people around the river.
