    Walter Pfeiffer

    Walter Pfeiffer is the Zürich based photographer whose portraits of friends, lovers, still life and scenery always taken with a large dose of fun have inspired a generation of photographers. His publication Welcome Aboard, Photographs 1980-2000 brought with it a revival in the realistic photography movement at the turn of the century. Pfeiffer has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions. In 2008, Fotomuseum Winterthur mounted In Love with Beauty, an unprecedented chronological overview of his work, spanning four decades from his beginnings in the early 1970s to his most recent work. An exhibition catalogue published by Steidl marked the event. In 2026, the Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin presented Walter Pfeiffer. In Good Company, the first institutional survey of Pfeiffer’s photography in Italy. The exhibition underscored the distinctive combination of sensuality, formalism, humour and spontaneity that has defined Pfeiffer’s photographic language. His other monographs include Vis-à-Vis (2025), Chez Walti 2000-2022 (2023), Walter Pfeiffer: Bildrausch. Drawings 1966-2018 (2018), Walter Pfeiffer: Scrapbooks 1969-1985 (2012), Cherchez La Femme! (2007), Night and Day (2007), The eyes, the thoughts, ceaselessly wandering (1986), and Walter Pfeiffer: 1970 – 1980 (1980). Pfeiffer’s work has been featured in i-D, Butt, W, Vogue Paris, Self Service, and Fantastic Man.
