Freelance and award winner Markus Bruegger has spezialized in the field of travelphotography. Taking photographs means for him the catching of stories told by the moment. Especially during his journeys in South East Asia. He realized these moments very intensively. These pictures even show a glance in the soul of the people and the scenery.

From my home Bern in Switzerland, I work as an independent photographer and was accredited as an official photographer by both, TAT Switzerland and the Thai Puplic Relations Department. My work comprises various fields of photography and my images are published in magazines, on web sites, brochures and are used for advertising and commercial print media.

I take photos as a travel photographer for many years mainly in Thailand. The highlights were the countless birthday celebrations of HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej, also called Phumiphon Adunlayadet or Rama IX, as well as the 50th and 60th anniversary of His Majesty's throne, which I've been able to attend as a western photo journalist and so delighted got an award in the category Best International Media, presented by the former Prime Minister of Thailand.
