How to take a photo of someone underwater, while his inflatable boat keeps moving?
In search of childhood memories, hidden beaches, and the rushing Uttigen wave, I traveled with journalist and skipper Pascal Amri along and on the Aare River, from Thun to Bern. 
A documentary of a personal experiment for Migros Magazine:
On peak days, up to 1,500 boats navigate this route. With a view of the snow-capped Blümlisalp, which accompanied us for a surprisingly long time. And in between: wild riverbanks, idyllic scenery, and even a restaurant with its own boat dock.
A photographic journey on a diverse and now internationally renowned river.
