Berlin: Christian Thomas
Christian Thomas is based in his hometown of Berlin, from where he has worked professionally for over 20 years. He regularly travels around the world, shooting in locations as diverse as Seville and Los Angeles.
He focuses mainly on portraiture, which he succinctly describes as "The attempt to capture people how they really are." Instead of generating a concept in advance, Christian feels most comfortable working in the moment, letting the small realities of life speak through his imagery as a shoot unfolds. Although he enjoys studio work he prefers shooting on location where he can create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere on set.
When not working on portraits, Christian concentrates on other forms of people photography, producing work for agencies that furthers his natural, flexible and fresh approach.
Clients include AmExMagazin, AirBerlin, BVG, Citroën, Coca-Cola, IMG, MAN, Marriott, Peugeot, Steigenberger, Vattenfall and Visa, amongst others. Over the years he has curated several highly acclaimed exhibitions of his work and also won the Canon Professional Photo Award.

London: Paul Campbell
Paul Campbell considers a helicopter the equivalent of a very high tripod, an invaluable tool for the landscape photographer - albeit an extremely expensive one! For the past 15 years, he has been using it for a wide range of clients including P&O Cruises, supermarkets, banks, and all manner of tourist boards. He also has a strong background shooting cars on location.
Paul shoots using gyro stabiliser mounts which minimise movement and deliver a high quality file at the end of the job. The helicopter opens his eyes to the one dimensional world below, revealing landscapes that often look as if they have been art directed specifically for his photography.
Using the aerial method means the time of day and weather conditions are even more critical than when shooting conventional landscapes. A good understanding of weather forecasting is essential, as is the patience to watch and wait before shooting - not always an affordable luxury in the commercial world of copy dates. A strong stomach to combat airsickness is essential too, especially when flying in a tight circles.
