As a photo editor I am responsible for the editorial use of photography at SWI swissinfo.ch and our collaborations with photographers. When the opportunity arises, I take a camera and accompany one of our journalists.
I trained as a photographer in Zürich and began working as a photojournalist in 1989. I was a founder of the Swiss photographers' agency Lookat Photos in 1990. A two-time World Press Award winner, I have also been awarded several Swiss national scholarships. My work has been widely exhibited and it is represented in various collections.
The earthquake in Haiti has faded from the headlines, but the Haitian people still have to deal with the consequences. Thomas Kern went to Port-au-Prince to see how they are coping, and how Switzerland is contributing to the reconstruction.
