TITLE: Snowfall over Basel (ongoing part of Project: Poems of the passing)

In "Snowfall over Basel," I capture candid moments of the city transformed under a rare blanket of snow. The bustling streets are quieted, and the familiar urban landscape becomes a serene stage for fleeting, poetic stories. Each photograph invites the viewer to pause and experience Basel in a moment of stillness, where time seems suspended, and everyday life is reimagined in this tranquil setting.

AUTHOR: Bastian Peter (Switzerland)

My name is Bastian Peter and I am a street photographer from Basel, Switzerland.
I shoot in color and black and white respectively.
Growing up in my family`s mask making atelier an early curiosity developed surrounding what lies beneath any facade.
Storytelling in many forms, especially photography and cinema fueled a passion for narrative and point of view. Self taught and with a growing interest and a hopefully evolving eye, my work has been evolving into the use of abstraction and light as a vehicle for emotion and storytelling.

My photos are, if not otherwise stated, always candid.


I am very thankful to participate at the Monovisions Awards in 2021.
