It is slowly starting to show. For example, I receive enquiries about photographing events. I was also asked whether I would be interested in creating images for postcards featuring Zurich.

Thanks to Google search, I now also know that there are websites, apps, and media outlets that apparently enjoy using my images.

SwissCovid app

One recent example is the SwissCovid app, the official contact tracing app in Switzerland. They use a photo I took at Hardbrücke in Zurich.

Microsoft

The most prominent example is probably Microsoft, which used a photo of a dog that I took for OneDrive in the Apple App Store.

Polyglott

Polyglott uses one of my beach photos for one of their Lisbon travel guides. I bought this guide myself and then turned it directly into a new image for Unsplash.
