He moved to Schaan and opened a photography firm and photograph publishing company, building a photo lab in 1937. He took photographs of numerous figures, buildings, landscapes and events in Liechtenstein.[1] He was also a pioneer of film recordings in Liechtenstein, such as the completion of the Liechtenstein inland canal in 1943.[1][2]

Buck was a member of the Nazi Party/Foreign Organization branch in Liechtenstein. In 1946 he was interned in French-occupied Austria on charges of espionage for Nazi Germany.[1] Though he was ultimately acquitted, he was expelled from Liechtenstein and moved to Buenos Aires in 1950, where he worked as a photographer until he died of an illness in 1952, aged 56.[1][3]
