Based in Cologne, Tomas Rodriguez works on numerous projects across lifestyle, advertising, kids and fashion photography. He has been shooting independently as a skilled and experienced photographer since 1998.

Photography is his genuine passion and it fulfills him to produce significant as well as expressive images, such as those which resulted from a production in Khayelitsha, one of the biggest townships in South Africa. The pictures show real life there without extenuation, and illustrate that life is everything but easy on the outskirts of Cape Town.

There could not be a bigger contrast with the lifestyle pictures Tomas shoots, and this is what makes his work unique and points towards his belief in producing authentic pictures.

Tomas’ work attracts national and international attention and appeals to popular fashion labels, advertising and stock agencies.

Tomas Rodriguez was born 1973 in Dortmund. Before he became a freelance photographer, he worked worldwide as an assistant for four years across fashion, advertising and architecture.

He has been working independently as a skilled and experienced photographer since 1998.

His studio is based in Cologne where he works and lives. During the cold European winter, Tomas produces mainly in South Africa where he passionately shoots lifestyle images for his national and international clients.
