About

Demian Tschumi

Photographer

I'm a professional photographer based in the western Lausanne area, Switzerland.

I specialize in digitizing artworks, and I'm gradually extending my practice to architectural and object photography, along with framing.

I work as both a freelance and staff photographer, collaborating with various cultural institutions — including the Swiss Cinematheque, where I document their heritage collections.

In 2024, I co-founded “La Charpente”, a shared workshop located in the former Perrier chocolate factory in Chavannes-près-Renens.

I’ve been working as a professional photographer since 2017, after completing my training and earning a Swiss Federal Certificate (CFC) at the Centre d’Enseignement Professionnel in Vevey

In my practice, I have a particular interest in digitizing analog images, and I still use film photography extensively for my personal projects. Additionally, I cover reportage, portraits, and events.

I also work at the Lausanne Ophthalmic Hospital, where I serve as a photographer specializing in ophthalmic imaging.

In 2024, I joined «La Charpente» In Chavannes near Rennes.
