Biography

Sebastian Magnani is Switzerland based photographer known for his intimate portraits masterfully utilizing light and color to create emotional scenes. His latest series “Daily Bat” skillfully captures the aura of the cultural icon Batman, and places him within the context of our normal, everyday reality. The figure Batman becomes a person with whom we can identify with, seeming to sympathize through a shared sense of isolation.
