JÜRG STURZENEGGER

FOUNDER

Born in Pontresina, now based in Zürich, Switzerland, I began my career as a graphic designer working for the Swiss lifestyle magazines «Annabelle» and «Bolero».

In 1998 I became Art Director of the «Bolero» magazine and in 2013 member of the «Bolero» Editorial Board. During this time I was the head of the graphic and photo team, responsible for the overall graphic design and visual appeal - the branding - of the magazine. My role also included directing fashion, beauty and still life photoshoots, from the inception of the idea to its realisation.

Because of my love for fashion photography, I created with the collaboration of «Bolero» the Swiss Photo Award in the category Fashion Photography at the annual ewz.selection event aiming to establish greater awareness of Swiss fashion photography.

In addition, I initiated the «Selected by Bolero» platform, giving young Swiss photographers the chance to shoot a fashion editorial for the magazine and coaching them along the way.

After almost 20 years as Art Director, I decided to establish my own design studio, Studio Sturzenegger GmbH, in Novmeber 2015.

Since Ocotber 2019 I am responsible as well for the Art Direction of the «NZZ am Sonntag Magazin», the weekley supplement to the «NZZ am Sonntag» newspaper.
