Bastian Peter is a photographer based in Basel, Switzerland, focusing on street and conceptual art photography. His work shifts between documentary observation and staged moments, raising questions about identity, space, and perception. While his street photography is always candid and unposed, his conceptual series are deliberately staged—often using studio-like setups. Whether on the street or in a controlled environment, Bastian’s images explore the tension between clarity and blur, intimacy and distance. A self-taught photographer, he experiments with light, color, and movement to capture emotions that resist easy interpretation. The 50mm lens remains his trusted tool, complemented by changing perspectives.
In 2025, Bastian Peter was accepted into the Basler Kunst Gesellschaft (formerly Basler Künstlergesellschaft). He is also the founder of the Swiss street photography collective SWISSSTREETCOLLECTIVE, which is dedicated to providing a platform for street photography in Switzerland and promoting the art photography genre.
