Pascal Noetzli is a Swiss-based photographer, born in Singapore and raised in the Canton of Zug, in a small village in the heart of Switzerland. He graduated in 2016 as a Graphic Designer in Lucerne and has worked for several studios and institutions in different functions. Currently, he is studying Camera Arts at the Lucerne Applied School of Arts in the Visual Communication Department. In 2023, he had the opportunity to do an Exchange Semester at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.
In his work, he focuses on different fields of society and humans, including sports culture and the exploration of sociocultural and political topics. Visual storytelling and translating ideas into photographic narratives are central to his creative process. This portfolio showcases projects, stories, commissions, and collaborations that have been developed in recent years, spanning genres such as documentary, reportage, behind the scenes, portraiture, and corporate visual language. In 2022, he realized two photo books. One delves into the daily life of local handcraft shops in Emmenbrücke, titled "Spiritus Multiculturalis," while the other provides a concise overview of Romanian football culture, titled "O călătorie cu jocul frumos – a journey with the beautiful game." Currently, he is working on a publication about anecdotes from the Middle East, which showcases different stories during his experience in Israel and Palestine.
