Sascha Zeitz is a Zurich-based street and documentary photographer originally from Germany. After a career in financial services, he made a deliberate pivot to become a full-time photographer. Over the past decade, Sascha has developed a distinctive visual language rooted in a radically subjective vision of the urban space. His work resists easy narrative, instead, it brings out the ambiguity of the streets, its simultaneous openness and resistance to meaning.
Sascha is committed to his ongoing development as a practitioner, regularly participating in workshops and programs at the International Center of Photography in New York (teachers include Natan Dvir, Christopher Giglio, Tom Griggs, and Jade Doskow). His work has been shown in exhibitions across Switzerland and Germany, most recently at photoSCHWEIZ, the most important photography exhibition in Switzerland. He is a member of the Swiss Street Collective and plays an active role in the Swiss street photography community, including through the organization of public events.
He is currently working on Close Encounters, a long-term street photography project exploring a paradox at the heart of the medium: the closer you look, the less certain you become.
