John Wilhelm, a Winterthur-born photographer from Switzerland, resides in his hometown with his wife, three daughters, one son, and an extensive collection of camera equipment.
Photography held a significant place in his life from the very beginning. Growing up in an environment filled with cameras, magazines, lenses, and self-made camera bags, thanks to his father's passion for photography, it became an integral part of his upbringing. However, it was when he held his first digital camera in his hands that the true joy of photography ignited within him. From that moment, a profound journey unfolded—a journey that encompassed various camera systems, techniques, invaluable experiences, and eventually, software products.
In February 2011, he took the leap into the realm of Photoshop, opening up endless possibilities to bring his creative visions to life. Fortunately, he was blessed with the extraordinary fortune of being the father of naturally talented children.
He began experimenting with ideas involving his eldest daughter, Lou, when she was just 1 or 2 years old. Each time, she exhibited remarkable talent and had an immense amount of fun, which fueled his inspiration to explore even more ideas. As it turned out, his other daughters, Mila and Yuna, also possessed great artistic abilities. It was evident that Lou had become an inspiring mentor for her younger sisters, and now he could effortlessly collaborate with all three of them. Countless captivating photos have been captured by John Wilhelm as a result of their collective creativity.
The relationship between father and daughter is unique. There are always good memories between father and daughter. The most enjoyable thing is to see your child grow up every day. I always wanted to experience with you during my very short childhood. Have fun with your children, create timeless photo sets.
Many studies also show that father and daughter playing together, growing up together will be much better. Therefore, I want to be both a father and a companion with my children without missing a second or a minute. We can only be with our daughter for about 20 to 30 years. Because when you grow up, you will have a small family to nurture and take care of. At that time, when I think of my father, I come back to visit, but I personally think I can’t ask him to always be there to take care of me.
