Ich habe David Schweizer ausgewählt, weil mich keines seiner Bilder auf seiner Homepage gleichgültig lassen. Das Shooting von meinen Portraits für meine neue Webseite war ein grossartiges Erlebnis. Fotografie ist Licht und Tiefenschärfe - ein Spiel, das David meisterhaft beherrscht. Wir haben hart gearbeitet, aber es hat auch riesig Spass gemacht. Vielen Dank für die tolle Arbeit!

Eine kleine, familiäre Schule, welche sich für ihre Schüler einsetzt. Sehr nette und kompetente Lehrpersonen und eine gute Organisation. Weiter so!

Tip top!
