Mischa Christen is a Swiss photographer and lives in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Freelance photographer for editorial and commercial clients.
Works with photography since 2003.
Initially Mischa Christen studied typography. At the age of 26, he decided to change his profession. In the following six years he discovered a great number of different professions through try-out work experiences. From 2002 to 2003, he studied fashion design at the Mode Design Schule Zürich. A study he dropped out of in the second year. At this time he discovered photography by chance.
Since the beginning of his engagement with photography, he has been interested in those subjects in which he depicts the fragility of the everyday. The necessity to give an intimate insight into his own life is rooted in a biography that does not follow a regular path.
