Christian Thomas
Berlin - people & car photographers
Christian Thomas is a people, car and transportation photographer based in his hometown of Berlin. He has worked professionally in the industry for over 20 years and regularly travels around the world, shooting in locations as diverse as Sardinia and Los Angeles.
Christian describes his work as "the attempt to capture people how they really are." Christian feels most comfortable working in the moment, letting the small realities of life speak through his imagery.
Although he enjoys studio work he prefers the flexibility of shooting on location where he can create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere on set. Christian focuses on producing work for agencies that furthers his natural, flexible and fresh approach. He also concentrates on his ongoing project, capturing images of The Nihang Warriors.
Clients include BVG, DELL, Peugeot, Telekom, Diners Club, Citroën, IMG, MAN, Marriott, Steigenberger and Vattenfall amongst others. Over the years he has curated several highly acclaimed exhibitions of his work and also won the Canon Professional Photo Award.
