Our diverse photojournalistic background has made us versatile across a wide variety of photographic practices and genres.
This enables us to work with utmost creativity, journalistic accuracy, and engaging storytelling techniques—even in challenging situations. We always keep our eyes on stories that matter to you, because at Alto Press we stay close to the action.
We bring extensive experience to areas such as news, events, press conferences, concerts, trade fairs, reportage, and corporate/business photography.
Event Photography
Unique events deserve unique photos—as event photographers, we know that every occasion is special. That’s why we prepare for each event with the utmost care.
Whether a spontaneous turn of events or unexpected changes arise, we remain flexible and adapt professionally to every new situation. With our experience and creative expertise, we capture the atmosphere and the decisive moments.
Examples: Club Éco, Bank Day, IAA Conference
Press Conference
Press conferences are our everyday life—as experienced photojournalists, they are part of our daily business.
With our expertise, we are well prepared and know exactly which techniques to use to capture the best, most suitable shots. We recognize the right moment and apply our know‑how to capture every detail of the event—promptly and with meticulous precision.
Examples: IAA Media Day press conference
Concert & Festival Photography
Concert & Festival Photography: Capturing Energy in Pictures—concerts and festivals are more than just music events; they are experiences shaped by atmosphere, energy, and emotion—both on stage and in the audience.
As experienced concert photographers, we are right there to capture those unique moments. We feel the atmosphere, experience the intensity, and document the most exciting instants that make the event unforgettable. With the right technology and a trained eye, we capture the energy that unites music and audience in a magnificent interplay.
Examples: various concerts and festivals
Trade‑Fair Photography
Unique perspectives on the event—whether through creative lighting or classic documentation—trade‑fair photography is an art that encompasses many facets.
We capture not only the atmosphere of the stand—with and without visitors—but also document events, conversations, discussions, and presentations, fully meeting the event’s requirements.
Using selective creative lighting, we highlight aspects that might otherwise be overlooked. By playing with the contrast of light and shadow, we create images that stand out for their expressiveness. The result is unusual, extraordinary photos that not only document the event but also capture the essence of the trade fair in a uniquely compelling way.
Examples: various trade fairs
Reportage Photography
Stories that matter—whether in cities or rural areas, in the Alps or in international crisis zones such as Ukraine—our photojournalists go where stories need to be told.
We have a team of photographers equipped with the right skills and expertise for every situation.
With decades of experience, our photographers are trained to prepare and document a story from a unique perspective.
We capture the essence of each story through engaging visual storytelling, out‑of‑the‑box perspectives, and strict adherence to journalistic ethical standards.
Each reportage is a unique testimony to the events unfolding before the camera, telling the story as it truly happens.
Examples: Cultural Forces reportage
Protest Photography
Protest reporting: Documenting protests, demonstrations, and actions is an important subcategory of reportage photography. At Alto Press, we engage intensively with these dynamic moments to tell the story authentically.
Protest photography requires not only preparation and knowledge but also a trained eye, tact, and creativity. We know how to capture the moment to convey the atmosphere and energy of a demonstration or action. Each shot becomes a visual narrative that brings the mood and message of the protesters to life.
Examples: paint‑action protest against conscription, paint‑action at the Chancellery against Israeli war crimes in Gaza, IAA protest
