Wal­ter Pfeif­fer has pi­o­neered en­tirely new ap­proaches in pho­tog­ra­phy with his cap­ture of the world through im­ages. The un­abated mas­ter of the mise-en-scène is still as ac­tive today as in the 70s and 80s, and his suc­cess­ful and now com­pre­hen­sive works now enjoy a re­vival of in­ter­est. He man­aged to stay in tune with time all over the years and en­com­passes the de­f­i­n­i­tion of a bor­der-crosser be­tween the so-called ap­plied and free pho­tog­ra­phy. A per­son of ex­cep­tional char­ac­ter, he man­ages to act as a me­di­a­tor be­tween two uni­verses in an unique and un­par­al­leled way by link­ing these fields in a seem­ingly seam­less man­ner.
