Swiss-born photographer Walter Pfeiffer has been photographing since the early 1970s until now. He has even covered [Vogue Hommes International](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Audio-journalism-platforms) and i-D. His works have been hailed for their originality and their unorthodox approach to the male body and sexual appeal.

Walter Pfeiffer had influenced many contemporary photographers such as Juergen Teller and Wolfgang Tillmans. Pfeiffer's works have been showcased in many [magazines and exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-last-resort-exhibition), and currently his [compilation books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marchesi-1824) are on sale and portray his works for the past thirty years.
