MEET Sêdona

A creative studio in Bern shaped around photography, ideas and people.

A place to create. A place to gather. A place to feel at home.

Living room with a white sofa, a wooden framed mirror leaning against the wall, a floor lamp with a yellow shade, a black pedestal with a small orchid plant in a round brown pot, hardwood floor, and sheer white curtains covering a window.

MORE THAN A PHOTO STUDIO.

A space made for whatever you bring into it.

Sêdona began with photography, but it was designed for more than photographs.

It's a flexible creative studio in Bern — a place for portraits and productions, workshops and classes, conversations and community gatherings.

Some days, the cyclorama becomes a set.

Some days, the lounge becomes a meeting place.

Some days, the room fills with people learning something new.

That's what Sêdona was made for.

The space changes with the people who walk through the door.

THE Sêdona PROMISE

Creativity needs room to happen.

Room to experiment. To move things around. To meet someone. To make something. To change your mind halfway through.

Sêdona was designed to give you that room.

Beautiful enough to inspire you. Flexible enough to make your own. Comfortable enough to stay awhile.

Come with a camera, a craft, a class, a conversation, your people — or simply an idea.

We'll make room for it.

Nicole Rodríguez

Photographer. Creative. Founder of Sêdona.

I'm Nicole, a Mexican portrait photographer based in Bern and the founder of Sêdona.

I grew up in Guadalajara in a home filled with music, people and creativity — the kind of place where there was always something happening.

Photography eventually became my way of translating that curiosity into images.

I'm particularly drawn to portraits: the small shift that happens when someone stops thinking about the camera and starts feeling like themselves.

Sêdona grew from that same idea.

I wanted to create a space that felt considered without feeling precious. Beautiful, but lived in. Professional, but warm.

A place where I could create my portraits — and where other people could bring their own ideas to life.

That's Sêdona.

Made with intention, from the ground up.

Before Sêdona looked like this, it was an empty room with beautiful light and a lot of potential.

Together with my husband Juan (this wouldn’t have been possible without him) we spent months turning it into the space you see today — designing, building, painting, problem-solving and reconsidering more than a few decisions along the way.

From the cyclorama and movable walls to the smallest details in the lounge, almost everything you see was chosen or built with a purpose.

Sêdona may have started as an idea.

It became a place, one detail at a time.
