Hans Feurer was born in Switzerland in 1939.[1] After studying art there, he worked as a graphic artist, illustrator and art director for several advertising agencies in London. In 1966, after buying a Land Rover and leaving for Africa, he decided to embark as a professional photographer. He returned to London, rented a studio, and started working on his photographs. At the end of 1967,[2] Hans Feurer’s work was recognized and his professional career officially launched.[3] Feurer died on 16 January 2024, at the age of 84.[4]
