Yves Suter, Zug (SUI) was born in 1983. He grew up in Brunnen (SUI) in the Central Switzerland Alps.
Since being a teenager he has worked as snowboard photographer and traveled the world extensively. Experiencing new cultures and documenting the lifestyle of people was his motivation throughout these times. Eventually he moved to Hamburg (GER) to study photography.
After moving back to Switzerland he co-founded Hakuin Publishing together with Alex Schauwecker. Art books and zines are his new love and he is currently working on several different publications. Dedicated to chaotic structures and influenced by the simple and clean lines of german photography he tries to combine these inputs info different series themes. Through his black/white photography he aims to show a combination of people, emotional moments and urban city life in a clean and simple way.
Other Series about his travels as a winter sports nomad show the reductionist style of his photography with scenes of lone landscapes and portraits of the people he has met around the world. He is dedicated to photography, to capturing life on film through analog cameras.
Alex Schauwecker, Kyoto (JP) was born in 1982. He grew up in Kyoto (JP) and Zürich (SUI), studied at the Humboldt University of Berlin (GER) and completed his studies with a B.A. from the University of Arts in Zürich (SUI) in 2009.
Alex’s main works include sketches and drawings as well as paintings and moving images.
As a passionate skateboarder and snowboarder he is closely connected to the board sports lifestyle. He has a lifelong love for the mountains and an equal fascination with the topography of urban life. Both these sources inspire his work.
He does not think and work in terms of contrasts, of 'either- or'. Instead he is inclined to the kind of art that discovers the common ground between different worlds and challenges the conventional perception of reality.
With his passion for snowboarding and art he recently co-founded the art inspired snowboard brand 'Hakuin Snowboards' with his friend Nico Walder. They aim, to bring back the spirit of the young to a sport that has lost its soul through commercialization.They will keep things real, anti-capitalistic and art driven and consequently the product, it design and production will be limited to a small circulation.
Jens Kaesemann, Düsseldorf (GER) was born in 1984. He grew up in Hamburg (GER) and graduated as a Photographer from PMF School in Kiel/Hamburg (GER) in 2008.
His work basically shows subcultures, be it of people like in the Zine 'Durch die Nacht' where he shows urban city youth going through the nights with drugs and chaos, but documenting also the lonely and quite moments of the lost souls.
In comparison to this urban street photography Jens Kaesemann is transforming his mix of complexity and raw simplicity to other areas like fashion photography, where he shows very experimental fashion of young aspiring designers in messed up and odd areas and make it look as simple and fresh as it is.
Working on film he also captures people in their pure natural way and goes on with reportage and landscape, always keeping it tight to his own style.
