Whether it’s a gala, a corporate event, a congress or a brand launch: since 2001, I have been photographing events in Zurich and throughout Switzerland. Among others, I have worked at the FIFA Ballon d’Or Gala at Kongresshaus Zurich, at Effervescence by Moët & Chandon with Roger Federer and on New Year’s Eve at The Dolder Grand. I capture the decisive moments authentically, discreetly and to the highest standard, for companies, brands and agencies. You will usually receive the edited images within 24 hours. You can also book me for private occasions such as milestone birthdays, anniversaries or wedding celebrations.
I am David Biedert, a photographer from Basel who has called Zurich home since 2005. I have been photographing events since 2001, more than ten years of that at tilllate.com, most recently as Head of Photography. Since 2012, I have run my own company, David Biedert Photography AG.
My strength lies in the moments that only happen once: the arrival on the red carpet, the speech, the toast at midnight. I work calmly and discreetly, keep an eye on the schedule and am in the right place at the right time. With Canon and Profoto equipment, I am well prepared even for difficult lighting in ballrooms, tents or on stage.
