People and the
work they do.

I’m Kerim Hehli, a photographer from Switzerland. I make documentary photographs of people, work and movement.

My attention is on what happens between the obvious moments: hands at work, a repeated gesture, the concentration before an effort. Working primarily in black and white, I look for images that tell a story together.

My background in marketing and brand communication helps me understand the purpose behind a commission. My approach starts with listening, understanding the setting and giving people space to be themselves.

I work with Leica. The camera is a means to stay attentive to the person, the light and the moment.

Available for documentary commissions, portraits and carefully considered brand stories.
