Osan’s adventure with photography started as a “hobby”, trying to take good photos of the the Wine & Tapas parties he was organising in Geneva. This turned into a passion very quickly – after a 14 years finance career, Osan decided to leave his well paid corporate job to pursue his dreams and convert his photography passion into a full time job. After studying at New York Film Academy, he launched “Geneva Photo Club”, which quickly became “Swiss Photo Club” with incredible feedback from students. Osan is busy with three jobs at the moment, wishing for more than 24 hours in a day: managing SPC, doing photography and teaching photography.

Interesting fact:
His finance career started because of his passion for dancing. Just like photography started because of wine:)
