Filip Zuan is an outdoor sports and life photographer based in the Engadin Valley, in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
Since the early days, Filip was naturally attracted to photography and always had a camera in tow – it quickly evolved into his main passion. Sports, people, lifestyle and travel subjects layer his main work. His home turf is one huge outdoor playground, intensely reflected in Filip`s persona, vision and work. Nevertheless, Filip is no stranger to the urban cityscapes – he lived in Barcelona in the early millennium to pursue his love for skateboarding and photography. Ever since then, his drive for travelling, discovering new cultures and adventures has taken him around the globe. Filip is always on the quest to document timeless and untold stories and portray the people behind them. His background as a graphic designer/art director and his deeply rooted love for the printed matter led up to four self-published books and various photo exhibitions. From personal projects to commercial assignments, he always focuses on the big picture, pushing the limits with a raw, clear and honest approach.
