Biography

My Name is Izedin Arnautovic, called Edi. I was born on the 28th February 1986 in the Bosnian city Bihac, and I grew up in the middle of Switzerland. For a long time, I didn’t have anything to do with photography. As a young boy, when I tried to touch my father’s camera, I always heard, “Watch out, this is expensive!“ and I let it go… until I received my first camera by a coincidence. More about that in the text, below.

My Story: A photographer by coincidence.

In the year 2002, I received my first camera by a lucky coincidence, and I want to tell you this story.

In school, we had a one-week, group project, with the topic “Digital Photography.” Without any experience, but with much interest, I joined this group.

A teacher lent us his camera, and by the end of the week, a friend of mine wanted to take some more pictures. As gave him the camera, I didn’t see notice that he wasn’t ready to hold it securely, and therefore it fell to the ground: total damage!

According to the repair company, a repair of the camera would be too expensive, so we paid the teacher for the camera. Afterwards I told him that I wanted the damaged camera for me. I brought it to a friend, who repaired it by himself. So now I was happy to have a camera and my photography career took its turn.

I started to become very interested in photography. Shortly after, I received my first proper camera, and I participated in a photography contest and won a brand new camera, which was a lot better. In the same year, a friend of mine and I founded our nightlife party label Polarstar.ch, which motivated me to continue my hobby.

Years passed, and I switched some cameras until September 2006, when I got my first DSLR Camera, a dream come true.

Shortly after that, I started as a freelance photographer for the local newspaper, Neue Obwaldner Zeitung„.

For the first time, in the 2007, I was asked to photograph a wedding. I was full of happiness, but I was also scared as hell; that’s why I took my best friend with me, to take pictures, as well, In case something went wrong with my camera.

Since then, I never stopped shooting weddings. I have photographed over 1000 weddings so far, and I hope to attend many more.

Further big successes were, in 2016, taking 2nd place in the Wedding Award Switzerland, as well as the cover for the Swiss magazine Schweizer Illustrierte.

I’m very open-minded regarding questions, comments, critiques or suggestions. Just write me an email to info[ät]izedin.ch and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Now, I wish you a good time on my website.
