Awards
When my photographic work wins international awards, it is of course a great pleasure. Especially because I do what I do with a lot of dedication and sensitivity.
My focus is on architectural photography and fine art photography. In both areas, I am interested in making spaces visible – in their structure, in their effect, sometimes also in their stillness. The fact that my pictures are well received in competitions such as the 35AWARDS or the VIPA Awards is both a confirmation and an incentive for me.
Good architectural photography has little to do with mere documentation. It needs emotion and atmosphere – whether it’s a hotel, a townhouse or a deserted cityscape.
So these awards are not the goal, but rather a nice side effect of my work. The journey is the goal.

Tobias Trumpp wins international photography prize at the VIPA Awards
Toulouse, May 2021 – Tobias Trumpp was awarded 1st place in the “Architecture / Cityscapes” category at the Visions International Photo Awards (VIPA). The jury honored his fine art photo series “Lockdown Lessons”, which was created during the pandemic and is characterized by a reduced, visually dense visual language.
The works show cityscapes in quiet moments – deserted, poetic and full of atmosphere. With their combination of conceptual clarity and emotional depth, the pictures won over an international field of participants. As the title “Lockdown Lessons” suggests, this series is based on the emotional and social challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
The competition is run by an international team of curators and recognizes outstanding work in the fields of architecture, documentary, portraiture and fine art.
“This award confirms my approach of understanding urban spaces as a mirror of collective emotions – especially in times of change,” says Tobias Trumpp.
