“America’s Love”  (2026)
editorial // exhibition project 
With an uncertain future, human rights under threat and AI changing how we create and express ourselves, the series explores the unity of youth, friendship, and identity. It is about finding intimacy and joy in a seemingly failing world.


“This Was Us”  (2026)
editorial // personal project 

A reality of distraction and lost hope. A crumbling environment we seek to escape through nostalgia and irony. The world in which we upheld strong morals feels gone; reactionary times are rising on the horizon. This is the world in which this photo series seeks to discover the hidden beauty and tenderness of often overlooked or judged male friend groups.



“+41”  (2025)
editorial // personal project

+41 is a photographic series by Liam Šandera that follows groups of young people within a massive concrete building. The focus is on human contact: being together in a space, in the transition between inside and outside. 

The title “+41,” inspired by Switzerland’s international dialing code, alludes to the ambivalence of digital communication.





“We Were So Online”  (2025)
editorial // featured in FACES Magazine

We Were So Online in FACES

The 2000s comeback isn’t only about fashion or music. It’s a memory of a world that existed before hyper-surveillance, climate anxiety, and identity overload took over our lives. It’s a longing for a moment when the future still felt bright and full of possibility, not fear.






“Overconsumption”  (2025)
editorial // personal project


The culture of more, more and more is a symptom of a world where constant stimulation has replaced genuine connection and where desire is manufactured synthetically faster than we can even name it. Overconsumption is a coping mechanism in an world full of burnouts, ecological collapse, and endless comparison.

















About

I’m a photographer based in Zurich who loves editorial and reportage/portrait work and I’m also really into film. I used to make little photoshoots with my friends and convince them to be my models, assistants, everything. Creating has always felt natural to me and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment.

Before doing photography, I actually sailed professionally in the 29er class. I trained and competed for years. It taught me discipline, strength and most of all how to read subtle shifts and respond to them intuitively.  But eventually I realized that what I really wanted was to put all my energy into visual art. So that’s what I’m doing now, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Outside of photography I’m a pretty outgoing, humorous person. I love spending time with friends and family, traveling, and exploring new places.

Thanks for being here.
