Carnival Devil

The Basel Fastnacht is a must-see event when visiting Switzerland. For 3 days straight, the city descends into jovial madness. In the middle of the crowd, I noticed this person wearing a terrifying yet beautiful goat mask, surrounded by a group wearing scary rabbit masks.

About Artist

Raphael Dezauzier

I’m a French photographer based in Basel, Switzerland. Over the years, I’ve lived in France, the U.S., and Germany—and those moves have shaped the way I see the world. I got into photography when I was ten, thanks to my mother who introduced me to it. Since then, I’ve rarely traveled anywhere without a camera. I focus on street, landscape, and travel photography. I’m drawn to real, unfiltered moments—quiet corners of a city, changing light on a mountain, or unexpected scenes that tell a story. Travel plays a big role in my work. I love being in unfamiliar places, observing what makes them unique, and trying to capture that feeling in a single frame. I’m always trying to improve—pushing myself to see differently, experiment more, and keep evolving. Photography is how I explore the world, and it’s something I’m constantly growing with.
