Mirjam Kluka, born 1981 in Aarau, Switzerland, is an independent photographer specialised in portrait, beauty and fashion, working and living in Hamburg and Zurich. A Swiss photographer with Czech origin, she takes pictures of what she loves most: people.

Her compassion as well as warm and positive personality allow an atmosphere on set which enables unique pictures that are proof of deep trust. At the same time, she is obsessed by the quest for capturing the perfect moment and goes to great lengths and into finest details to reach this goal.

Empathy and perfection form the basis of her photography, and the result is the best possible interpretation of truth and essence.

"Driven by an impulse to capture the beauty in my subjects, I infuse a balance of playfulness and focus into my work.

A joyful and relaxed mood on set complements my work, which is marked by the charm of the unexpected, a fascination with light, and elation with the human as my muse."

Claudia Link works as a freelance photographer. Specialising in food, corporate, portrait, travel, lifestyle and documentary, she has mastered a wide range of productions.

Her style is characterised by spontaneity, together with an ability to capture unique moods and moments. She believes beauty is often in the details, and finds it in everyday things that are usually overlooked. She builds concepts with images, and captures situations though different perspectives, creating compositions that are harmonious and end up becoming stories.

On set she attaches great importance to being friendly and creating a relaxed atmosphere to ensure everyone feels comfortable, but also connected: this connection is also evident in the final pictures.
