THE EMOTIONAL AND PERSONAL CONNECTION

Photography is not just about pointing and shooting. At Fotografie Ulrike Kiese, images are created differently. Exciting images, especially in the field of portrait photography, are teamwork in the best sense of the word. The same applies, of course, to business photography and especially to wedding photography.

I empathize with people and make them partners in a joint project. I find their "best side" – and capture it in the picture.

People feel comfortable with me because I engage with them. With time and patience. That's why they engage with me too. And that makes all the difference in the end: pictures, really good pictures that will be enjoyed for a very long time.

I have been working as a freelance photographer since 1992 and have also published various books and magazines in my work:

31 Lofts / Offizin Verlag - 20 Years of Kunsthaus Grenchen – Garden Ideas -Garden Style Projects, exhibitions, and documentary work round out my wealth of experience.

You can expect expressive photography of high creative and artistic quality from us.

Because every customer is unique to us, and we always look forward to new challenges and, above all, exciting collaborations!

Taken from real life

Pause time for a moment and create a likeness of yourself as a 3D figure that will last forever.

As a 3D sculpture, as a 3D miniature, three-dimensional and lifelike.

And this is what you get

PocketSize Me produces a modern and very personal form of individual contemporary history for you: your own unique 3D figure. In a size of your choice, as unique as the original—in other words, as you are.

You encounter yourself. And you can give yourself as a gift. Of course, your true-to-life 3D image also looks great on your desk or in a display case.

Families stop time. How did your family present itself on a particular day?

Teams and groups make their mark and remain in our memories – forever and ever.

Companies and institutions make history. The board of directors, the management, the staff – lifelike

3D figures document and make an impact.

Quality comes first

This is about the most important thing in your life: you!

That's why only the best is good enough! For us, this is an incentive and an obligation not just to deliver any result, but rather to create the perfect image, the perfect 3D figure of you.
We owe it to you. And you owe it to yourself. That's why we take the time for you—and together we create your very own personal 3D figure, which will give you a lifetime of pleasure as a document of your life.

PocketSize Me – the pioneer from the very beginning

We were the first to bring the idea of three-dimensional portrait figures to Switzerland. And we have used this head start to our advantage. By refining the technology to achieve the highest possible results.
PocketSize Me works with its own proprietary processes, which make a clear difference in quality.

Our philosophy

We focus on high-end quality and first-class results. Because we know from experience that our customers rightly have high expectations of the result. The three-dimensional image of yourself should represent you, convince and move you. After all, you invest time, and so do we—and the joint effort should be worthwhile. In the form of your perfect 3D figure, as a reflection of your personality, as a distinctive, unique piece, as a modern and timeless form of your very own personal history.

High-tech and craftsmanship

The scanning process in our studio takes no more than a quarter of an hour of your time. Then the real work begins for us. Each scan is elaborately post-processed and optimized several times using our own proprietary methods. The optimized data is fed into a high-performance 3D printer, modulated layer by layer, and produced as a figure.
We then invest a lot of time and effort in manually post-processing the printed figure. This ensures that your personal portrait figure is a true-to-life representation of the original, i.e., you, in every detail.

This is why we do not offer a quick service. We produce your 3D figure with meticulous care and maintain quality down to the last detail. You can see the difference in the result. When you hold your own portrait figure in your hands, you will agree with us: it was worth the effort! A delivery time of two to four weeks is not just a waiting period, but an investment in the quality you deserve!

Fast and cheap or affordable and perfect?

PocketSize Me's prices are calculated fairly. A glance at the products of quick service providers with consistently machine-produced output highlights the differences and emphatically underlines our credo.
We need time, we take our time, we rely on high-tech and handcrafted finishing, and in doing so we make a difference: minimal in price, maximum in results. Why should you settle for less?

For you, it's a decision; for us, it's high-tech and handcrafted work—and then: your 3D figure for life!

1. Book your appointment
It's quick and easy. Reserve your desired appointment for yourself, your family, or any group you wish. With our reservation tool, you can book your appointment online right away.

2. Scanning in the studio
The scanning process is comparable to early photography. The scan takes a few minutes, during which the person being scanned must stand still and not move. Details about the scanning process can be found in our FAQs.

3. Post-processing of the scan
The completed scanning process produces a figure made up of millions of polygons (i.e., a grid). We post-process this raw version using several software programs to make the sculpture printable.

4. 3D printing
The figure is modulated layer by layer (mixture of plaster, vinyl, polymers, ceramics) by a high-performance printer in numerous passes and coated with texture paint. This process takes between 50 minutes and several hours, depending on the size of the figure. Drying takes at least another 90 minutes.

5. Manual removal of the figure
The finished 3D figure is now dry and lies in a bed of loose composite material. It must be carefully separated (excavated) and exposed.

6. Removing material
The figure is still very fragile at this stage and must be handled with great care: excess material is removed using paintbrushes, brushes, and compressed air.

7. Detail work & finish
The tools used to remove the loose composite material become increasingly finer. All loose particles are removed from the figure, which is then lovingly finished by hand in a complex process.

8. Curing
The cleaned and still very fragile figure is now ready for final processing. In the next step, it is hardened with superglue. This makes it more resistant and allows the colors to shine in all their vibrancy. After the hardening process (approx. 1 week), the figure is finished and ready for presentation.

9. Pick up your figure
Your very own 3D figure is waiting for you. We can send it to you by mail or you can pick it up from us—whatever you prefer.

10. You and your figure
With your sculpture, you have stopped time and created a piece of your own personal history. Your figure represents you and your personality—for the moment, but above all for a lifetime. For you, for your family, for your friends, and for generations to come.
