Take one scroll down John Wilhelm’s Instagram page, and you’ll learn this man is NOT your average father of four.
Growing up with a dad who was a hobby-photographer, Wilhelm says photography has always been an important part of his life.
“I grew up in an environment of cameras, magazines, lenses, self-made camera-baggages, darkrooms and funny weddings,” says the Switzerland-born photographer.
But it wasn’t until he held his first digital camera in his hands that his passion for wildly creative photography would ignite.
“The fire was sparked and a long journey began,” said Wilhelm. “A journey through lots of camera systems, techniques, experiences and finally software products.”
In 2011, a whole new world was opened to him when he stepped outside the perimeter of ‘plain photography’ and dove into the magic of Photoshop.
“Now it was basically possible to realize everything that’s in my mind,” said the then father of three. But he felt like something was still missing: muses for his photos.
