Forster has built a global reputation as one of the finest yachting photographers of his generation, and even after all these years, he remains as passionate as ever about capturing the drama, elegance, and raw power of the sport he loves.
Born and raised near Lake Murten in Switzerland, he began his journey into sailing and photography at the same time. “I started sailing at home on a Swiss lake and took photos of my friends racing,” he says. “During my apprenticeship in a photo studio in Bern, I started reporting from regattas.” It was there that his lifelong fusion of sailing knowledge and visual storytelling took root.
