Info on the Founder - HANNES SCHMID

Born in Zurich in 1946, Hannes Schmid is today one of the most important photo-artists in Switzerland. Continuing journeys took him around the world, where he developed his own characteristic visual language as advertising, fashion and freelance photographer, characterised by personal ties to the objects.

Legendary, is his collection of over 70,000 photos of the biggest rock stars. In more recent times, Hannes Schmid has also attracted attention with his photographs and photorealistic art. Since 2012, Hannes has been involved in humanitarian activities for children and families in Cambodia, one of the poorest countries in the world, with the non-profit organisation Smiling Gecko.
