About Thomas

Born in the port city of Le Havre, France, I'm a 38 years old geographer and former natural risks officer working as a photojournalist, documentary and corporate photographer. My visual work is distributed by INSTITUTE photo agency.

In parallel to my activities as a photojournalist I am regularly commissioned by private companies who wish to enhance their profile and communicate with their customers, either online or through printed booklets that are especially tailored to their needs.

With more than nine years of strong experiences as a professional photographer, I am regularly assigned on the spot to help promote products, whether they are of architectural, real estate or fooding nature. These experiences have taught me to be rigorous and to pay particular attention to the clients’ guidelines.

Thanks to my photographic experiences and my strong skills, I have developed different knowledge such as: digital photography and lighting techniques in different environments, being able to work under pressure (post-prod) to meet creative deadlines before printing, the skill to adapt to my clients’ needs as well as being able to communicate in a clear, precise and confident way in order to build strong relationships both internally and externally.

I'm available for editorial and corporate commissions within Germany and in Europe.

Selected corporate and editorial clients:

AirBnb, Barnes Luxury Real Estate, Cocoonr, Sotheby's, MAAK7 agency, DOMUS, STERN, GEO, GQ magazine, Telegraph Luxury Magazine, The Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, The Financial Times, Telegraph Magazine, De Standaard magazine, Der Spiegel (Deine), Zeit Leo, Fluter, FOCUS, Datum Magazin, L'OBS, Actes Sud publishing house, Woxx, La Vie, NEON, VICE Media, Rhythms Monthly and Humanitarian Alternatives.
