Freelance photographer Noé Cotter works between Neuchâtel and Paris. After earning his diploma as a media technician at CPNE in 2014, he continued his studies in photography at ECAL, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2020. He then honed his skills by working for a year as an assistant to Charles Negre in Paris.
Since then, he has undertaken projects for prestigious brands in the watchmaking, cosmetics, and design industries. In parallel, his artistic work explores natural landscapes, both terrestrial and underwater, enriching a diverse practice of photography and moving images.
Noé Cotter now relies on a talented team that accompanies him on his projects. Comprising experienced photo retouchers (Serge Concierge) and two assistants, this team works in perfect harmony, optimizing every stage of the process—from preparation to post-production—and ensuring high-quality results in all their work.
In addition, Noé Cotter teaches photography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Neuchâtel. His work has been exhibited in Switzerland and abroad, reflecting a distinctive and accomplished vision.
