Thomas Kellner

Thomas Kellner (b. 1966), is best known for his large-format photographs of famous architectural monuments, which look like “photo mosaics” due to many individual images and a shifted camera perspective. From 1989 to 1996, Kellner studied Art and Social science at the University of Siegen to become a teacher.   At the chair of Professor Jürgen Königs, a genuine “school of pinhole camera photography” developed at the University of Siegen’s Department of Art, Kellner intensively studied the possibilities and limits of this technique. At the same time he experimented with other methods of photography such as Salt-paper prints and Cyanotype. He also worked with various noble printing processes such as silver gelatine and Gum bichromate.
