Joan Minder

Fotograf, Zürich, 1986

Joan Minder is an image maker working with photography and also with film. His practice ranges from artistic to commercial projects, consistently aiming to capture human life in all shapes; honest, raw and atmospheric. This is also what drives and inspires him: the trivialities of life itself. In his images, he creates a variety of genres and new worlds with moody and imaginative settings. After graduating form the University of Bern with a Master of Law, Joan decided to follow in his father‘s and grandfather‘s footsteps and dedicate his time to photography. After working for five years at Annabelle photo studio, Joan manages his own atelier in Zurich, where he currently lives with his wife and their children.
