Tobias Ryser, born in 1981 and based in Rapperswil-Jona on Lake Zurich, is one of Switzerland's most renowned landscape photographers. His enthusiasm for nature began in his childhood, when he loved being outdoors and discovering the world around him. This passion continued and later led him to study landscape architecture and work as a ranger in important protected areas. However, he found his true calling in photography - the art of capturing the perfect moment and the magic of light in a unique way. His focus is on the spectacular landscapes of the Swiss Alps, complemented by stunning images of local wildlife.

For Tobias, landscape photography is more than just capturing a beautiful scene - it requires patience, experience and a sense of the perfect moment. His images are often taken after long days in the mountains, where he spends days on end trying to get the best possible light in the right place. He braves wind and weather, spends nights outdoors and enjoys the silence and solitude of nature. His flair for composition and lighting allows him to capture scenes in their most striking form - often classic, sometimes surprising and playful, but always with an unmistakable signature.

His way of working is always authentic. He rejects image manipulation or excessive post-processing. Instead, he relies on the natural beauty of the moment, which he optimises on location by making small adjustments, such as moving an ice floe or removing an obstructing rock. His aim is to capture reality as it is, in the best light, without distorting its essence.

As well as artistic and technical perfection, Tobias is also aware of the responsibility that comes with his work. In the age of social media and the growing popularity of nature photography, he is concerned that fragile landscapes are coming under increasing pressure from tourism and the hunt for the perfect image. That's why he deliberately refrains from revealing location information and actively campaigns for conservation.

He is passionate about sharing his knowledge and appreciation of nature. In his Workshops , he takes photography enthusiasts to the most beautiful places in Switzerland and teaches not only technical skills, but also a deeper understanding of light, composition and the importance of the moment. In addition to the photography, he focuses on the overall experience - from the quiet morning hours with a steaming cup of coffee in hand to spontaneous surprises such as a glass of white wine from a glacial lake.

Tobias has won several national and international awards, including Swiss Nature Photographer of the Year. His images are used by well-known companies, published in magazines and sold as fine art prints. But for him, success is not measured in titles or followers, but in being able to make a living from his passion and inspire people with the beauty of nature. He remains true to his philosophy: fewer images, carefully selected, no artificial perfection, but honest, natural beauty.
