About me

Chasing light under the stars

Photographer, night owl and mountain wanderer — here is a little about who is behind the camera.

Reto Schneebeli beneath the Milky Way

Hi, I’m Reto

I’m a Switzerland-based landscape photographer with a deep fascination for the raw beauty of our planet and the mysteries of the night sky. My work is inspired by the glowing arc of the Milky Way, the shimmering dance of the aurora, the primal force of volcanoes, and the timeless majesty of mountains.

Through my lens, I strive to capture moments that evoke wonder, serenity, and a sense of connection to the natural world.

Whether it’s a quiet alpine sunrise, a star-strewn night sky, a lava-spewing volcano, or the flicker of northern lights on a frozen horizon, each image reflects my passion for exploring remote landscapes and sharing their stories through photography.

What I photograph

Four worlds, one sky

The Milky Way

The glowing arc of our galaxy, arching over silent mountain nights.

The Aurora

The shimmering dance of the northern lights over frozen horizons.

Volcanoes

The primal, glowing force of the earth laid bare.

Alpine Peaks

The timeless majesty of mountains in first and last light.
