Peter Gasser

 Peter Gasser is one of America's premier artists. He specializes in the art of photography. An art that is so hard to be excellent at,
Peter Gasser really has the art down and knows how to produce amazing images. As this quote from one of the Getty's many books published on photography, Gasser states that photography is an act of love, it can reinstate the world around the photographer and the viewer. I fell the same about photography as he does, in fact, this quote basically sums up what I think about photography.


He was born in Switzerland in 1947 and has always had a strong connection with the arts. He loves music an has since he was a child. Gasser feels that music can determine a persons photography more than they know. There is a strong connection between the photography a person takes and the music that a person listens too.

He has recently turned from landscape photography to shooting people, which is where he resides in his art today. He has had many famous icons that he loves to study, such as Ansel Adams, Brett Weston, and Paul Caponigo. Like them he is a superb crafts man when it comes to his photography. He produces his own prints and develops them himself in the old style in a darkroom.

His photography is quite amazing because he isolates a certain element of an area and focuses on them specifically to create unity in his pictures as well as a sense of individuality for the subjects that he is shooting. He has a way of making them look special and unique.
They are some of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. I have just recently found this artist and can not stop looking at his prints because they are just so very beautiful! I love them! I like how he plays with light and makes the subjects look so interesting and deep. He is just an amazing photographer in my opinion, and I would one day love to shoot images like he does. The complexity in his pints is also amazing because they just have a way of stunning the viewer whether its the first time you have seen his pictures, or you are a follower of this artist. I just am in love with these and they are truly a form or art for me. It seems as though you can really tell exactly what he was feeling and thinking when he takes each and every one of his photos and that it what I love about photography.
