Black and White Street Photography

from Switzerland and beyond

“As a teenager I started developing my own photos and transformed our bathroom into a darkroom, using black garbage bags to block out the light. I loved the process and the magic of watching the first tones of my creation vaguely appear.”

Zurich and Street Photography: A perfect match?

Located in the heart of Switzerland, Zurich is a picturesque city known for its stunning lake, charming old town and vibrant cultural scene. While it’s famous for its banking and finance sector, being one of the most expensive cities in the world, its delicious chocolate, high-end shopping on Bahnhofstrasse and its cleanliness, it’s certainly not recognized for street photography. Let’s change that!

This city has so many different areas to explore with your camera. From the historic old town and beautiful Lake Zurich to the Limmat River, Bellevue, Oberer Letten and the Rote Fabrik — both known for their lively graffiti and street art. And don’t forget Langstrasse, a lively, colorful district filled with bars, restaurants and a rich mix of cultures. The main train station is quite impressive, but Stadelhofen and Hardbrücke are also hotspots for street photography. I could go on like this for a while!

For me, Zurich and street photography are a perfect match — come see for yourself in one of my workshops!

The Helmhaus in Zurich is a perfect spot for street photography, whether it's the perfect sunset light or reflections on a rainy day. Don't miss it on your next phototrip to Zurich!
