For Marco Aste, the year 2020 also had positive moments, such as slowing down and taking the time to take stock of the situation. He realised that life is also beautiful in such a phase, it was important in such a situation to keep the emotions and passion in his work high.

Another essential point for him was that he could tackle new things like video and video animations, photo shoots, new customers or rediscovered customers to live these emotions. Of course, the measures like masks, distance and hygiene were not always the coolest thing in the world but it was worth it for his health.

He was asked by Johnson & Johnson for a video production instead of a planned event in January, to produce different TV shows (Trauma TV) like News, Selling TV, Shark Tank, and Discussion Round. Animation videos for DePuy Synthes and a few photo shoots for Die Weltwoche, Familienpass Magazin and Gruner AG were also added. 

Some of his latest works: Johnson & Johnson, DePuy Synthes, Die Weltwoche, Familienpass Magazin, Gruner AG, The 50Plus editorial.

His main occupation as a child was to look out of the window for hours, to observe, to discover photo and art books to immerse himself in his creative and narrative world - of course he did not know what all this was for!!!!

His name, Marco Aste, born in Basel, autodidact with Italian roots, grew up with the openness of the border triangle, approaches people without prejudice, still loves to observe all his life, to capture the faces, to tell the stories, to live their culture and love their environment, to present their projects in timeless modern clarity for his national and international clients in the advertising and editorial field.

Some of his latest works: Die Weltwoche, Gruner AG, DePuy Synthes, ZKB Zürcher Kantonal Bank and 50Plus editorial.

Marco Aste is an internationally-commissioned advertising and editorial photographer.

His work with Migros Magazine was to photograph Swiss celebrities in their kitchens and their favorite meals. For him it was very interesting to see the contrast between private and public life.

It was very exciting for him to photograph the rebranding of the WIR Bank because it was more than just taking pictures: the cooperation with the client in the conceptualisation phase and the implementation period was very intense.

Weseta by Christian Fischbach and the Ehingerbc Zurich Agency also approached Marco  because they were enthusiastic about his photos and wanted his opinion in the concept and execution of their campaigns. 

While working with Straumann Group they gave him plenty of freedom to create his atmospheric black and white pictures that represent the new Straumann Group world of images.

Marco Aste, Swiss photographer who works internationally, has realised several projects that have a lot to do with hope, solidarity, and humanity are a great experience for him too. Many of his customers approve of this attitude and be it for banks, medical companies, magazines or even advertising this experience is incorporated into the topic as well as it suits him.

Through his sensitivity and authenticity, his work affects the people who stand in front of his camera. This creates light images that are portrayed in campaigns, posters, brochures, annual reports and books with a timeless, modern clarity that impress the viewer and let every project go into depth.

His clients are UBS, ZKB, BKB, BKBL, Bank J. Safra Sarasin, Operation Smile, Johnson & Johnson, Unicef and many more.

Some of his recent work includes: UNICEF, 50Plus Magazine, and the DePuy Synthes campaign.
