Melchior Imboden (1956) was born in Switzerland. In 1972 he began his studies as an interior designer and worked in this profession subsequent to the completion of his studies until 1984. It was during this period that he discovered his interest in arts, design, and typography. In 1980 his first photographic works were created during his travels throughout the Mediterranean.

In 1984 Melchior Imboden began studying graphic design at the Art School in Lucerne. During his five-year study, he worked for designer offices in Milano, Italy and Basel, Switzerland. Following the completion of his studies in 1989, he was employed as an assistant art director in Zurich for two years.

In 1991 he traveled extensively in South America and created further black-and-white photographs. Since 1992 he has worked as an independent artist, graphic designer, and photographer in Switzerland and abroad. His posters, many of which deal with the cultural sphere, have been honored with numerous national and international awards. In 1998 he became a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) and has served as President of AGI Switzerland from 2006 to 2010.

Melchior teaches in arts, graphic design, and photography. He has been a university lecturer for photography in Bern and has also taught at various universities in Switzerland, for example, Lucerne, Bern, and Zurich.
