Biography

Human beings in their specific environment and portrait photography are the main focus of my work. I am inspired by curiosity, openness and the desire to uncover people’s authentic core. Leaving my own comfort zone and accompanying people in unfamiliar settings – for instance during polar night in Greenland or in rural Africa – often results in the best and most significant pictures and portraits.
Jonas Kambli, born in 1979, is a trained photographer with 15 years of experience who lives and works in Bern. His pictures have been presented in numerous magazines and exhibitions. In addition to his own artistic projects he works in the commercial sector on corporate design.
