Thomas Baumann: Zurich People & Lifestyle and Portraiture Photographers

Thomas Baumann is a freelance photographer based in Zurich and Thun with a passion for staged portraiture and editorials in a documentary style. His work is emotional and moody, creating a unique atmosphere in every photograph.

He loves to collaborate with clients, developing concepts and storytelling to ensure that the final result perfectly captures their vision. He believes that using always the same signature style limits the freedom to express exactly what fits the story. That is why his images are not in a unique and predefined colour palette but in a tonality that is intended to emphasise the desired mood. He is always searching for the perfect shot. He has a keen ability to capture the essence of his subjects, whether it be the intimacy of a portrait, or the raw emotion of a moment

Thomas’ work has been featured in print, online, social media and international campaigns. Among his clients are global and local companies as well as agencies and magazines like British Airways, Air Zermatt, Bilanz, Nagra, Nutriathletics, Hamilton International, NZZ am Sonntag, Migros, Swiss Television SRF.
