In the world of photography, there are many specialised fields. One of these, which most people overlook, is food photography. Fabian Häfeli (37) has a special focus on this field.

Fabian started his own brand, Fabian Häfeli Fotografie, in 2007, not knowing then where the journey would take him. Now, with his studio well established in Zurich, he has gained a wide range of clients to date based mainly in Switzerland, such as Gate Group Holding, Maison Manesse, Jelmoli, The Dolder Grand, among others.

Häfeli worked with The Dolder Grand in a recent project for the gourmet festival The Epicure by Heiko Nieder. The concept itself was inspired by Häfeli’s black-and-white series from 2013, which creative director Charles Blunier intended to revive.

Another recent project is the ALDI grilling campaign, presenting Häfeli’s work this summer on posters, banners and in magazines across Switzerland.

Fabian Häfeli is a specialist food photographer based in Zurich, Switzerland. Besides photography, Fabian has always had an interest in the world of cookery and therefore expressively shares his passion for food in his work.

Thanks to his excellent eye for colour, lighting and composition, he works with and satisfies clients such as the Bürgenstock Resort, Coop, The Dolder Grand and more. 

His recent work includes photography for a cook book by Lauren Wildbolz and the Color Cuisine gourmet food series for the Bürgenstock Resort. He's created a photographic concept and took the pictures for Tibits at ArtBasel 2020.

Fabian founded Fabian Häfeli Fotografie in 2007 and has been expressing his work creatively, professionally and successfully ever since.
