About

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

Maya Angelou

My name is Nina Botzen and I have been a passionate content creator and photographer for many years now aiming to caputure the beauty in everything I see. For me photography is an expression of art that conveys a story.

I always loved being creative: Be it crafting when I was a little kid, or picking up my first camera when I got older. I’m a self-taught photographer and originally I studied Design Management at the HSLU University of Applied Sciences in Lucerne. As long as I can remember I have always had a passion for photography and recently discovered my love for videography. There is something particular about seeing the world through a lens and I was always fascinated to capture moments that no one else saw and motivated to tell stories through my pictures. The fashion industry always had my interest – as a girl, I wanted to study fashion design and dreamed of being an editor at a big fashion magazine. Fashion photography brings these two interests of mine together.

As a fashion and brand photographer, I am passionate about conveying a creative story through my fashion photography. What I love about this genre of photography is the creativity it inspires in me and the creative freedom in execution.

Besides photography and filmmaking, I’m very passionate about the topics of sustainability, mindful traveling and conscious living, and love to spend time in nature doing things I love like surfing, hiking, running, and yoga.
