Switzerland: There are more lakes in Norway, more orchards in Italy, and higher peaks in other corners of the world.

But nowhere brings it all together quite like Switzerland.

In Switzerland, breathtaking landscapes are never far away. Within just a short journey, you can move from snow-capped mountains to sunlit lakes, from vibrant cities to peaceful alpine villages. Everything feels connected, effortless, and within reach.   Born in the heart of Switzerland and shaped by its spirit, Luminosa Production calls Lugano home—where Mediterranean flair meets alpine precision.

For over 25 years, Luminosa Production has been crafting its expertise across Switzerland and beyond, bringing its distinctive touch to projects throughout neighboring countries.

"I began my journey in the fashion industry in the mid-1990s. After studying fashion design at the Marangoni Institute in Milan and completing a two-year trainee program at ESCADA, I moved to Lugano, Switzerland.

I started my career as a freelance fashion stylist, working on international productions and traveling extensively. Over time, my interest shifted from the creative side of a shoot to the complex production behind it — the people, logistics, and global coordination that bring creative visions to life.

In 1999, my husband and I founded Luminosa in Switzerland. In 2005, I stepped away from styling to fully focus on production and the development of the company. When my husband had to step back from the operational business due to health reasons, I took over the leadership of the company. Today, I continue to guide Luminosa, turning creative visions into reality.

All eyes on women today..."

Chrissy Skory, owner - Luminosa Production

Luminosa Production is based in the south of Switzerland, right on the Italian border. This unique location naturally led to an expansion of our services into the Mediterranean region, with a strong focus on Italy and the South of France.

For over 25 years, Luminosa has developed deep local expertise and a strong understanding of this area—its people, culture, and production landscape. Clients trust Luminosa for its distinctive combination of Swiss precision and reliability, German punctuality and rapid response, all infused with a la dolce vita spirit that makes every project feel truly “fantastico.”

“We are a full-service creative production agency with the experience and network to deliver the right locations, crews, and results. We don’t just speak the language — we understand the culture. 

Experience the Mediterranean with Luminosa Production.”

Locations are certainly the foundation of every shoot. This year, Luminosa discovered many new spots beyond the usual areas, continuing to provide its signature worry-free service, supported by a solid network and years of experience.

Based in Switzerland, Luminosa offers services primarily in neighbouring countries — but also wherever clients need to go.

This year’s destinations included Malta, the island of Gotland in Sweden, and cities such as Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, and Berlin. In Italy, Luminosa explored Lake Como, Liguria, and Lake Garda, as well as the south of France, the French Alps, and Belgium. The company’s own location archive now includes thousands of options.

"We call ourselves a full-service creative production agency. We have the experience, contacts, and taste to help our clients find the perfect spot and crew to achieve the results they envision."

2025 is a milestone year for Luminosa Production — the boutique production company is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

And the year couldn’t have started any better. From January onwards, Luminosa has been working on a series of stunning projects. Just to name a few:

• A colourful studio shoot for Stylebop, with set design by Tina Hausmann
• A day in Milan with Elias Becker for Replay
• Capturing the beautiful light and landscapes of the South of France with Anna Schürrle
• Rocks rocked in Malta
• A campaign for Breitling x FC Bayern, featuring some of the world’s top footballers
• And the ever-beautiful Lake Como, which set the scene for Best Secret’s latest campaign

“We call ourselves a full-service creative production agency. We have the experience, contacts, and taste to help our clients find the perfect location and crew to achieve the results they envision.”

Based in Switzerland, at the heart of Europe and surrounded by beautiful countries like Italy, France, Austria, and Germany, Luminosa Production offers a wide range of diverse locations. All these countries share one distinctive feature: the Alps.

From snowy peaks to breathtaking landscapes in both summer and winter, extending to the Alpes-Maritimes in France or winter-like settings such as the Carrara marble quarries, Luminosa has guided clients with experience and expertise for 25 years, “over hill and dale.”

Luminosa has one of the largest and most varied location databases and an exceptional network.

“We call ourselves a full-service creative production agency. We have the necessary experience, connections, and taste to help our clients find the perfect location and crew to achieve the result they desire.”

"We are Italy."

Luminosa production is a boutique production company, with head office in Lugano-Paradiso, in the south part of Switzerland, just on the boarder to Italy. So it's only natural that Luminosa, right from their start in 1999, spreaded out to La Bella Italia.

"We have the necessary experience and contacts, we speak the language (Italian is the main language in Lugano) and understand the mentality of the people. That allows us to create the perfect conditions for your shoot in Italy.

We built a very strong network over the years, allowing an uncomplicated and cost effective way to produce in Italy, almost as being local. When working in Italy we apply of course comparable prices in euro".

Luminosa’s extensive own location database of Italy includes, for example, the snowy peaks of the Dolomites, the ageless beauty and enduring romance of Lake Como, the vibrant city of Milan, Tuscany, the eternal city of Rome, La Bella Puglia, Capri and the Amalfi Coast, and the islands: Sardinia and Sicilia - you name it - Luminosa will deliver!

Luminosa is a true partner to the client at every stage, already during the creative process providing also art buying and casting if requested.

"We are global – made in Switzerland."

Christin Skory is the co-founder and executive producer of Luminosa Production GmbH.

“I entered the world of fashion and advertising photography in 1995 as a fashion stylist. Fascinated by the perfect organisation and logistics of productions in the US, my husband Matteo Skory and I decided in 1999 to open a production company which would fulfill the needs of photo teams, with an special eye on fashion clients. Our base was Lugano, in the Italian Side of Switzerland. Being surrounded by different countries, especially Italy, having the Alps very near, and also the French Riviera ‘around the corner’, we spread our network and services quickly to different places. When Matteo had to step back from productions in 2014 , due to health reasons, I overtook his role , and became the head of production and also executive producer on set, whenever possible."

Clients: Boss, Peek & Cloppenburg, Peter Hahn, Freepeople, Betty Barclay, and many more.

There isn't anything in Switzerland that you couldn’t find somewhere else in the world. Finland has more lakes, the glaciers in Iceland are bigger, the mountains in Nepal are higher and in Italy you will find more apricot orchards, but in Switzerland all of this is so close together, and let's not forget the outstanding classic and modern architecture.

Since 1999 Luminosa Production has provided a personalised service, tailored to the various needs and requirements for advertising fashion and editorial shoots. For both still and moving images in Switzerland and the countries around it.

Back to the roots, Luminosa opened this year again an office in Paradiso, Lugano - in the south of Switzerland, one of Europe's most beautiful and sunny regions, famous for its unique “Swiss-Mediterranean“ lifestyle.

After the lockdown in March and April, Luminosa Production started as soon as it was possible to be busy again. The new normal brought new skills, finding fitting locations for the clients without travelling too far, Switzerland and Germany came into focus for many of Luminosa's clients.

Thanks to its excellent network in Germany, and a cooperation partner in Munich (Production Paradise member dasprophaus) Luminosa was able to fullfill the requests and also discovered a lot of stunning locations in the south of Germany.

Featured in this Spotlight are some highlights of the fall/winter campaign of Peek & Cloppenburg Düsseldorf and the relaunch campaign for Stylebop. Both were shot by Andreas Ortner.

More clients to be featured soon, like Overland Sheepskin (shot in the Swiss Alps), Betty Barclay, Alba Moda, Birkenstock, Peek & Cloppenburg Düsseldorf Winter/Christmas campaign, and Peter Hahn.

Luminosa also reopened an office in Lugano - back to its roots!

"Luminosa Production - We are Europe."

Luminosa ended the year 2019 with a sunny shooting in Sicily for ANSON'S, shot by Michael Berger.

2020 started with some shootings in studio and in Lugano, Luminosa’s second home where the company reopened an office in 02/20.

With the outbreak of the Corona virus in Europe, things of course changed drastically and all confirmed productions, especially for Italy and France were cancelled. Clients had to change their plans, and as travelling was no longer an option, Germany became the focus as a location with many possibilities.

Due to the excellent network and a close cooperation with DAS PROPHAUS (location and production service, based In Munich), Luminosa was able to adjust immediately to the situation and provided the usual high standard in location research and services.

As soon as it was possible to shoot again on location Luminosa was ready and organised many shootings in Southern Germany, and also in Switzerland.

You will be surprised what beautiful spots Munich and surroundings has to offer.

“We call ourselves a full service creative production agency, we have the necessary experience, contacts and taste to help our clients find the perfect spot and crew to get the results they want to achieve.”

Whether it’s a snowy peak or a vibrant city location, modern architecture or stunning nature- Luminosa has an extensive location database and an excellent network. “We can help to find the perfect spot for your photo shoot, and not just for fashion, but anything!”
