about us (english)

Welcome to the fascinating world of photography on the main website of Reto Puppetti

Since 1995 I have been working as an editor, freelance journalist and photographer for Swiss publications like   SonntagsZeitung, Weltwoche, Tages-Anzeiger, NZZ, Brückenbauer, Kultur&Reisen, FotoIntern, Cash, die Welt, Computerworld, InternetStandard, PCtipp and HomeElectronic among others.

Since 1996 I am a member of the Association of Swiss specialised journalists.

Since 2007 I steer my creative juices entirely towards photography. Since then my images have been awarded repeatedly at prestigious international photography competitions.  I shoot primarily for art-prints and -products, but also commissions worldwide and contribute to  international renowned stock agencies. My photos are for example published in high-end magazines, buisness publications, billboards or as book covers.

My special fields in photograpy:

• fineart

• nature




• conceptual




• creative shootings for pets, human and business




• reportages including sports and travelogues

• sports
