Portraits of architects, legendary musicians, entertainers and industry heavyweights are as diverse as each subject’s character. Claudio Bader seeks to encounter his opposite, instead of mirroring himself: the environment is always accurate, the expression always honest.

Claudio's industrial pictures are characterised by a refreshingly cool beauty; views of interiors and exteriors that are out of the ordinary. In his versatile editorial reportages he creates depth with an image architecture in which aesthetics do not compete with content.

Bilingually raised in the Italian part of Switzerland, Claudio sees himself as a “cittadino del mondo”, moving effortlessly between different cultures and languages, and taking inspiration from these diverse worlds.

Having his studio based in Lugano, he works for renowned companies and magazines all over Europe, including British Airways, Land Rover, MAN, Swiss Federal Railways, Der Spiegel and NZZ am Sonntag.
