WHAT BETTINA LOVES MOST ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY:
„The hunt for, and capture of the magic moment.
Earning the trust of a person in order to go a little deeper
for a sensitive portrait shot.“
Today Bettina lives in Switzerland with her husband and their dog where they share their love for long walks in the forest and the exploration of good wine and „Terroir“ around them.
