The emotional and personal connection 

Photography is not just point and shoot. Pictures are created differently at Fotografie Ulrike Kiese. Exciting pictures, especially in the portrait sector, are teamwork in the best sense of the word. Of course, the same also applies to business photography and especially wedding photography.

I empathize with people and make them accomplices in a joint project. I find the "best side" - and put it in the picture.

People feel comfortable with me because I engage with them. With time and calm. That's why they engage with me. And that makes the difference in the end: pictures, really good pictures that give pleasure for a very long time.

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

31 Lofts / Offizin Verlag - 20 years of Kunsthaus Grenchen - Gartenidee -Garden Style projects, exhibitions and documentary work round off my wealth of experience.

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

Because every customer is individual for us and we always look forward to new challenges and above all to an exciting collaboration!

3d figure 3D figures Mini Me

PocketSize Me AG

Taken from real life

Stop 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 that's what you get

PocketSize Me produces a modern and very personal form of individual contemporary history for you: Your own 3D figure as a unique piece. In a selectable size, as unique as the original - just like you.

You meet yourself. And you can give yourself as a gift. Of course, your faithful 3D likeness will also look great on your desk or in a display case.

Families stand the test of time. How did your family present itself on a particular day?

Teams and groups fly the flag and are remembered - forever and ever.

Companies and institutions write history. The board of directors, the management, the workforce - lifelike

3D figures document and make an impact.

Quality at the forefront

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 you that. And you owe it to yourself. That's why we take our time for you - and together we create your very own personal 3D figurine, which will be a lifelong document of your time.

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 used our head start. By refining the technology to make results at the highest level possible.
PocketSize Me works with its own and self-developed processes, which create clear differences 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 you and touch 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 an unmistakable one-off, as a modern and everlasting form of your very personal contemporary history.

High-tech and manual work

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 extensively post-processed and optimized several times using our proprietary processes. The optimized data is read 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 the manual post-processing of the printed figure. This ensures that your personal portrait figure is a true-to-life replica of the original, i.e. you, in every detail.

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

Fast and cheap or inexpensive and perfect?

The prices of PocketSize Me are fairly calculated. A look at the products of quick service providers with consistently machine-produced output makes the differences clear and underlines our credo emphatically.

We need time, take our time, rely on high-tech and manual work in the finish and thus create differences: minimal in price, maximum in result. Why should you settle for anything less?

A decision for you, high-tech and manual work for us - and then: Your 3D figure for life!

2. Scanning in the studio
The scanning process is similar to photography in the early days. Scanning takes a few minutes and the person being scanned must stand still and not move. Details on the scanning process can be found in our FAQs.

3. post-processing 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 by the high-performance printer in numerous passes layer by layer (mixture of plaster, vinyl, polymers, ceramics) and coated with the texture color. This process takes between 50 minutes and several hours, depending on the size of the figure. It also takes at least 90 minutes to dry out.

5. manually uncovering the figure
The finished 3D printed figure now lies dried in a bed of loose composite material. It must be carefully separated (dug out) and exposed.

6. remove material
The figure is still very vulnerable at this stage and must be handled very carefully: Brushes, brushes and compressed air are used to remove excess material.

7. detail work & finish
The tools for removing the loose composite material become finer and finer. The figure is freed of all loose particles and lovingly reworked by hand.

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 the colors can shine in full vibrancy. After the curing process (approx. 1 week), the figure is finished and ready for presentation.

9. pick up your figurine
Your personal 3D figurine is waiting for you. We send it to you by post, you pick it up from us - everything according to your wishes.

10 You and your figurine
With your sculpture, you have stopped time and created a very personal piece of contemporary history. Your figure represents you and your personality - for the moment, but above all for life. For you, for your family, for your friends and for generations
