My profile

“I would love to support you with my know-how, my huge wealth of experience and plenty of enthusiasm for your project. I can attend to your wishes very flexibly and discretely – and rest assured: I will deliver superb results, even for smaller budgets.”

Annette T. Keller

I am an expert in multispectral imaging and have roughly 20 years of experience in the areas of documentation and art diagnosis. Since 2000, I collaborate closely with with many institutions and museums around the world. I have been fortunate enough to have documented many internationally significant works of art. Since February 2017, I am working with Phase One to develop spectral and multispectral photographic solutions for cultural heritage and forensic investigations and machine vision.

Milestones

A few highlights from my portfolio, 2000 – today

2013-2014 various artists, 150 paintings
2006-heute Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) Monocromo
2013 Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916) 60 drawings

2018-2021
I am proud to have played a key role in the development of the fully automated Phase One Rainbow Multi & Narrowband Imaging solution. Image sequences from UV to infrared, so-called stacks, are generated in the highest resolution at the push of a button, perfectly calibrated and repeatable. Multiband recordings are supplemented by narrow band stacks (16 recordings) and become the link between imaging and science. Reading out spectra and PCA and ICA algorithms opens up further non-invasive application possibilities.

2019-2021
Support of the preservation project of the Swiss National Museum for the investigation of the Strappi and Stacchi from Müstair as well as the existing stock in Müstair Monastery St. Johann by means of spectral multiband photography

2017-2018
Research on the differentiation of white pigments by means of spectral imaging

2017-2018
Multispectral Imaging analysis in Müstair, Stiftung St. Johann, UNESCO World Heritage

Since 2017
