Raymond Meier (photographer)

Over time Raymond’s photographs have evolved from still life to fashion images, and in recent years his work has included a significant amount of architectural photography.

He concurrently established long lasting relationships with major fashion, jewelry and cosmetic brands providing images that have shaped their visual identities for decades.

American Vogue (magazine) Editor in Chief Anna Wintour describes Meier’s work; "In the tradition of great Swiss visual geniuses, such as Josef Muller-Brockmann and Werner Bischof, whose visual precision was always richly evident in work both artistic and commercial, Raymond Meier has that unerring ability to infuse technically masterful compositions with charm and punch.

In Meier's work, shearling boots float with astronauts, eagles clutch diamond brooches, and models fly out of stilettos.

His un-commissioned work stems from curiosity about the multi-faceted capacities of photography – from ambitious surveys of historic landmarks, and intense studio-based scrutiny of visual forms, to acute and simple photographic observation of the world around him.
