BLACK & WHITE MAGAZINE – 2014 SINGLE IMAGE AWARD WINNER

In 2014, Austrian fine art photographer Gerald Berghammer was recognised alongside Ina Forstinger as a winner of Black & White Magazine’s Single Image Contest, an international competition dedicated to black-and-white fine art photography. The distinction marked an important milestone in Berghammer’s photographic career.

The magazine’s official competition archive features four photographs credited to both artists: Strong Birch in the Landscape/Nature category, alongside Surreal Moment, Three and a Half Stone and Treacherous Coast in the Seascape/Water category.

These works embody a minimalist photographic approach defined by atmospheric landscapes, carefully balanced compositions and refined monochrome tones. Through negative space, natural forms and subtle contrasts, they convey a distinctive sense of stillness and timeless simplicity.

This recognition forms part of Berghammer’s international photographic career, alongside distinctions from the Black & White Spider Awards and the International Photography Awards, reflecting his enduring commitment to artistic clarity, visual reduction and photographic craftsmanship.
