San Giovanni Battista

Simple forms, strict geometry, reduced colors, solid materials - these are the characteristics of Mario Botta's architectural style. To capture the geometry of this sacred building, I focused on the details of the architecture and photographed in black and white.

About Artist

Thomas Halfmann

With a passion for storytelling through the lens, I began my photographic journey in the mid-1990s, focusing on concert photography using a Minolta XD7. Since 2010, I've shared my expertise through workshops that go beyond technique, guiding others to find their creative voice. My work spans both digital and film photography, primarily using Leica and Hasselblad cameras. I am also an avid collector of original prints and photobooks, which deeply inspire my craft. My photography has been exhibited in notable venues from Berlin to Switzerland, with a focus on architecture, landscape, and street photography. My work has been published in various magazines and books, including Art Basel and Farmer's Almanac. I am honored to have received several prestigious awards, including the 2024 MUSE Gold Award for both Black & White Landscape and Architecture Photography.
