About | Jaromir Kreiliger: Jaromir Kreiliger

Jaromir Kreiliger (born 1991) grew up in Castrisch (GR). His early photographic work culminated in the series Amicezia, which was honored with the Swiss Photo Award in 2016.

After studying photography in Ghent and Vienna, he returned to Graubünden for a commission from the Bündner Heimatschutz focusing on the architect Robert Obrist. Architecture has remained a central theme in his work: over the course of three years, he documented the buildings of Gion A. Caminada. Currently, he is working on an experimental series exploring the encounter between civilization and the wolf, combining studio stagings with AI-generated imagery.

“Jaromir Kreiliger is a photographer who enriches the visual world of Graubünden—passionate, subtle, and artistically ambitious.” — Köbi Gantenbein
