About Pietro Sutera

Pietro Sutera was born in 1965 and grew up on the Swiss-German border near Zurich. Influenced by his origins from Sicily he began capturing the portraits and stories of humans from various cultures and backgrounds at a very young age.

His work as a freelance photographer and photojournalist – commercial and social – is part of national and international projects that have taken him to Africa, Australia, Asia, South- and Central America. His clients include agencies, corporations, artists and publishers, galleries, NGOs and other organisations.

Pietro’s portfolio emphasizes on people, portraits, advertising campaigns, travel and reportage, documentary and storytelling. Many of his photographs have been published in magazines, calendars and books, amongst them are winners of international prizes.

He is based in Germany and lives close to Frankfurt/Main.

"Faces change with time, but photography immortalizes fleeting moments. I act as a visual historian, capturing the expressions, emotions and details of a person in a specific moment. So, as a portrait photographer, I freeze time, pursuing a twofold mission: to explore and celebrate the emotional and visual landscape of humanity and to make people feel seen and understood. Beauty lies not in perfection but in the uniqueness of each individual. In those who view my work I like to inspire empathy, curiosity and deeper reflection reminding them that behind every face is a life with complex emotions, stories and dreams. I truly hope that, through my portraits, I can make my audience feel a bond to those I photograph."
