Hello, I’m Joris. I’m a consultant, photographer, and writer focussing on the built environment. I live and work in Zurich.
My studies of history and geography and my employments in urban design, spatial planning, and real estate practices have laid the foundation for my photography and writing. I am interested not only in the beauty of warm sunlight on historical patina, but also the absurd contrasts created by conflicting planning laws in our sprawling cities. I search for human traces both in seemingly arcadian landscapes and inhumane concrete jungles.
I provide reportage and architecture photography, written office portraits, website texts, and articles. Please don’t hesitate to contact me: email@jorisjehle.com.
