Today, we talk to the Swiss photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/rosenberger_photography\">Rico Rosenberger<\/a> and ask him what key steps to take to make the switch. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/rosenberger_photography\">Rico Rosenberger<\/a> is a photographer based in Switzerland, for whom the fondness for the field of Art ended up becoming a career choice. With the camera as a tool and dedication as his armor, today <a href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/rosenberger_photography\">Rosenberger<\/a> is a well-known brand himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this interview, we talk to him about his experience and find out how he went from being an assistant to a successful professional, doing both photoshoots and full-service in-house production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/10498070_10152856209919324_3392558625493294554_o.jpg?resize=303%2C403&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rico Rosenberger on Cherrydeck\" class=\"wp-image-6435\" width=\"303\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/10498070_10152856209919324_3392558625493294554_o.jpg?w=721&amp;ssl=1 721w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/10498070_10152856209919324_3392558625493294554_o.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 303px) 100vw, 303px\" \/><figcaption>Rico Rosenberger<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Firstly, could you tell us about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a 35 year old photographer from Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland. I have been doing camera work for some years now, today I am recognised by my label &#8220;<em>Rosenberger Photography<\/em>\u201c. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am in the business of photography production and run a full-service Production Company that works mainly in the field of conceptual advertising. I am proud to say that I have been a part of quite a few ad campaigns that won national and international awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you get started with photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I started pretty young. When I was about 15 years old, I attended an art school that kick started my creative career. Soon after that, I started to work as an apprentice to become a photographer. I worked as an assistant to many renowned professionals, while my eye was always set on the goal of becoming a photographer myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery

I fail to discern how I ended up working with some clients and projects. I&#8217;ve always known myself to have a charismatic personality and maybe that is what enticed people to work with me.
