Djamila Grossman
Zürich, Switzerland
I'm a freelance photographer currently based in Zurich. I spent nearly 10 years studying and working in the U.S. and I'm bilingual in English and German. I was a staff photographer at the SL Tribune until 2011 and shot everything from breaking news, portraiture, legislative coverage, protests and intimate documentary projects.
Since moving to Switzerland I have focused on carving out my own photographic voice while shooting a variety of reportage and portrait assignments, as well as commercial work. My imagery has an emotional, intuitive approach and visual language. I'm quick on my feet and I travel light. I'll handle tricky situations successfully and I have a great working relationship with editors and reporters.
