About

Adventure is not only what I shoot. It's how I live and how I create.

I'm Ben Tischhauser, a Swiss filmmaker, photographer and content creator based near Zurich. For around a decade, cameras have been a central part of my life — what started with documenting my own adventures grew into professional productions for international brands, tourism destinations and companies.

Today I work across commercial filmmaking, photography, branded content and social campaigns — often in environments where traditional productions become challenging. From mountains and oceans to helicopters, boats and remote destinations, I create content directly where the story happens.

Comfortable where cameras usually aren't.

Freediving, surfing, skiing, skydiving, expeditions — being at home in these environments lets me create content that would otherwise require much larger productions. I can be part of the experience while documenting it professionally.

Two sides. One production approach.

Brands can work with me for professional content production, creator distribution — or both. Depending on the project, I work independently, with my own team through Mediawerk GmbH, or with additional specialists.

The best content happens when the experience is real.

I stay close to the production itself — from planning and shooting through to editing and delivery. Instead of creating something that only looks adventurous, I prefer being in the environment, understanding the activity and documenting the real experience.
