New Website June 2023

E:After ten years I got an Email from my hoster a few weeks ago...You are currently using an outdated PHP version. To improve the security of your website, we strongly recommend that you update the website. For many years the site has been updated and the design I acquired from a Thai student was ahead of the curve and I still love it to this day! Now it was time to renew the website, a redesign was necessary! The new site should be rather simple, just a personal business card.

D: Email von meinem Hosting Anbieter vor einigen Wochen...Aktuell verwenden Sie eine veraltete PHP-Version. Um die Sicherheit Ihrer Website zu verbessern, empfehlen wir Ihnen dringend die Aktualisierung der Website. Viele Jahre konnte die Seite aktualisiert werden und das Design, welches ich von einem Thailändischen Studenten erworben hatte, war der Zeit voraus und gefiel mir bis zum heutigen Tag! Nun war es an der Zeit die Webseite zu erneuern, ein redesign drängte sich auf! Die neue Seite sollte eher schlicht werden, einfach eine persönliche Visitenkarte.

Snow melting Switzerland July 2023

Snow melting Switzerland July 2023

E: It's already early summer in the valleys while up in the mountains the snow is gradually diminishing and melting. The nights are still cold here at over two thousand meters above sea level and that is why the surface of the mountain lake is slowly forming freezes over again in the evening. During the day the water surface changes and makes for exciting picture compositions.

D: In den Tälern ist schon längst Frühsommer, während hier oben der Schnee so allmählich weniger wird und schmiltzt. Die Nächte sind noch kalt hier auf über zweitausend Höhenmetern und deshalb friert der langsam entstehende Bergsee an der Oberfläche Abends wieder zu.Tagsüber verändert sich die Wasseroberfläche und sorgt für spannende Bildkompostitionen.

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 journies 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 town Thun 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.
