Britta Hagemann

Since 2010 Fine Art Photographer with Show Room in Switzerland

Until April 2024 in Thalwil, now new in Dallenwil, near Lucerne

Creative transitions: Constant Reinvention

From Germany to Southern France and Paris, back to Germany, to the East Coast of the USA, to Singapore, to Switzerland...

From management psychology to photography, from commissioned work with my own agency to artistic work in my own studio...

Changes run through my life like a common thread: 14 moves in 5 countries and 3 continents brought a lot of joy and exciting impressions, but also restlessness and a constant need to reinvent myself.

No wonder, that over the years - as if to compensate - the silence of nature became more and more the leitmotif of my photographic work.

Current Project: Berg-Werke/ Mountain Works

Hence the particular joy of my current favorite motif, the Swiss mountains - for me the epitome of inner peace and invigorating silence.

And that's also how I prefer to approach them, in complete silence - by tandem paragliding.

Life “down there” never seems so small and far away as when we approach a peak face to face, as normally only birds can.

And I am never so excited and full of joy, as when above the summit cross, we can already see what other discoveries and untouched places are awaiting.

To me, how nature has this way to draw us in, to deeply affect us - is one of the most beautiful and greatest miracles.

The Joy of the Picture

But it doesn't always have to be the big, majestic motifs like mountains and oceans in famous places.

Sometimes all it takes is the very small things - all around us - that captivate us, and bring us into this state of great inner peace and stillness.

And this is exactly what I would like to share through my work: With both, my studio in the old Sagi (saw mill) in Dallenwil right by the river, as well as my pictures and collections, I hope to invite you into the deep, relaxed stillness that only nature can bring to us - reigniting in us what makes being human so worth living: Vigor and equanimity, courage and compassion, curiosity, wonder and joy.
