Stephan Zirwes

Based in Stuggart, Germany, Stephan Zirwes, b. 1967, is known for his beautiful aerial photography of European and exotic landscapes, both urban and rural.

His images are often graphic abstracts that highlight colour and texture, but closer examination may reveal themes relating to people at work and at play as well as socio-political themes like exclusion and environmental pollution. 

Zirwes has exhibited internationally in galleries and museums such as  SF Moma, and won prestigious  awards inclduing the Hasselblad Masters 2010 Award.
