STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY Oct 2017

London: Thomas Rohde

"Hello! I’m a London-based photographer specialising in graphic still life. After the obligatory post-college backpacking, and a short stint bartending in New York City, I made London my home from my native Copenhagen in 2002 to study photography at the University of the Arts, London.

I’m at my happiest when faced with a new object to photograph and the challenge that lies in transforming it into a highly desirable object; the process of tweaking the lighting setup just so to reveal the texture and shape of the object, enhancing its unique and visually interesting features in order to create inspired, luxurious imagery.

I love the entire creative process from initial brief to glossy end product, and I embrace the most up-to-date retouching techniques and CGI (when needed), but I always strive to capture as much as possible in camera as there really is no substitute for the real thing.

My lighting style is crisp and direct in order to achieve a graphic yet balanced composition which, I find, best showcases the object in front of the camera. If I can be of any help realising your next project, please do get in touch and I will be more than happy to discuss any brief in detail or answer any questions you may have."
