Gian Giovanoli
It all started at Lake Sils
Growing up in the serene village of Sils Maria, Gian discovered his love for photography along the shores of Lake Sils. His passion for capturing the beauty of the Engadine valley blossomed when he acquired his first camera.
As requests for various shoots increased, Gian embarked on a career as a commercial photographer, specializing in fashion, sports, architecture, and still life. He lent his expertise to numerous clients, magazines, and prominent companies. Despite over a decade of full-time work on diverse projects, Gian realized his true passion lay elsewhere: landscape photography.
Eager to reconnect with his roots, Gian opened his own gallery in Pontresina in 2017, later relocating it to St. Moritz in 2020. His work is renowned for impressive large-format landscape photography in limited editions, unique fusion pieces reflecting alpine culture, and documentary photography of nomadic herders far beyond the Engadine.
