About me


My name is Adriano Pontearso, I am a photographer from Zurich. My main focus is street photography but I try to be versatile and mix my photography when I can.

For long time I have been interessted in photography but I never had the courage or chance to buy a real camera. It was always with my mobile phone but I don’t consider it as real photography. It all really began in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic. I got a camera for my birthday. Since this day, I started to walk around and use it always more and more. The motivation grew and it became a real hobby.

The start

Current motivation

I do a lot of pictures, I try to go at least once a week for a photo walk. It dosen’t matter if it’s at the same place, in my eyes, there’s always new moments waiting to be caught. The more you shoot, the more you learn.

Since september 2021, I started a journey with analog photography. I have been fascinated by the process and the manual feel compare to digital. Since then, I almost shot more analog than digital. I learned to embrace the imperfection of analog photography and make it an advantage.

Since start of 2023, I was thinking a lot about studying photography. This project will come true in march 2024 as I got in a photography school in Berlin. In my eyes, I still have a lot to learn and I can’t wait to start this adventure.

I always like to get different opinions on my work, this was one of the reasons to create this website and share my work with others.

I am always open for new projects. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
