Geisser spent many years in Zurich, where he carried out numerous landscape studies, portraits and genre paintings. In 1863 he married Rosalie Louise Caroline Elise Masson and later, in 1865, he settled in Lausanne.
He regularly exhibited his works in Geneva from around 1859 to 1886 and participated in the Turnus traveling exhibitions organized by the Swiss Society of Fine Arts from 1842 to 1886.
In 1866, Geisser founded the Waldensian section of the 'Société des peintres et sculpteurs suisses' and in those years he was a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lausanne.
