About me

Zurich photographer and filmmaker Alberto Venzago masterfully shuttles between the worlds of reportage and advertising, documentary, and fiction. In gripping photo essays and films, he casts a critical gaze on world events, while in parallel creating carefully styled imagery for global brands and world-famous stars. Venzago’s first museum exhibition in The Zurich Museum of Design showcases his work in an opulent retrospective. From portraits of Andy Warhol, Jean-Luc Godard, and Penélope Cruz to a voodoo ceremony in Benin, from scenes within the Pentagon to indigenous people in the rainforests of Sarawak, from geishas in Tokyo to a lone iceberg in Antarctica—Alberto Venzago has seemingly had half the world in front of his Leica. This self-taught photographer (not to mention filmmaker) has traveled the globe more times than he can remember, always in search of that next unforgettable moment.
