Lucia Hunziker - portrait photography, forging identity through love, emotion, and one’s own stories

A dialogue in which Lucia tells about her discovery of photography and how she converged towards portraiture and fashion.

She talks here about the relationship between her artwork and her subjects, how photographs can also bring people closer to their own identities.

Can capturing an image or being the subject in a photograph actively help reinforce one’s confidence? She tells about the force of expressing oneself in photography, and how she uses her own creative language towards constantly refining her personal style.

This dialogue is also the occasion of explaining how, through an hommage to the style of inspiring photographers, her relationship to figures of her home town Basel, her work "Basel in Portraits” became, a project where her subjects were inspired to go beyond who they usually are in the public eye, expanding their persona in phase with their inner aspiration.
