It’s not easy to play it cool when Snoop Dogg, Dua Lipa or Billie Eilish are sitting in front of you. Lukas Maeder goes for it – and gets the pictures from the greats of music that turn his portfolio into a book of friends. In “Nice to Meet You”, the Zurich native presents portraits that blur the boundaries between music and art.
