Private life

In 1956, Mayer married the Keystone-photographer Ilse Günther.[2]

Career

Fred Mayer began his career in photography with an internship at Otto Pfeifer's studio. Pfeifer is one of Switzerland's most influential photographers. After his internship Mayer started to work as an independent correspondent for Swiss magazines such as the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. In 1965, his collaboration with Magnum Photos started. For Magnum Photos, Mayer travelled to Indonesia, where he shot a documentation about the former President Sukarno.[3] His other works include pictures of King Hussein of Jordania[4] and portfolios from all around the world, from Vatican to Bali.[5]

Important Works and Achievements

Mayer and his wife published more than 30 books on a variety of topics. Kleinstaat und Weltkirche: Vatikan was published in 1979. Mayer later commented on the book by saying that he naïvely went to the Vatican and asked if he could take pictures. Being allowed to do so, he started to take pictures[6] and later got published by the Swiss Orell Füssli Verlag.[7] He further published books about various countries, the Russian orthodox church, Chakkar Polo, Japanese theatre and the Chinese Opera. In 2011, Mayer published Homage to Hermann Hesse and his Siddhartha, based on the novel Siddhartha by the German author Hermann Hesse. For this photographic essay, Mayer was nominated for the Best of ASMP Award 2011.[8] He further received a Lifetime Award from SBF, the Swiss Professional Photographers and Photo Designers Society.[9]
