Thomas, we are delighted to speak to you today. To begin with, could you briefly introduce yourself?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Hi, I\u2019m an Art Director and Photographer from Cologne, Germany. My main focus is on products, objects and interiors or in short still life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What lead you to start with photography? And still life specifically?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

During my studies in graphic design, I bought a camera, so I didn\u2019t always have to search the web for images. Slowly, I became more and more enthusiastic about photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After finishing my bachelor\u2019s degree in visual communication, I didn\u2019t dare to jump straight into photography. I started to work as an art director in various design agencies in Cologne. Then, with some years of experience in that field, I became a freelance art director and photographer, helping both small and larger companies building their visual language for their brand communication. This was about six years ago now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You were one of the five winners of the Polestar competition in\u00a02019. How was it to drive the Polestar 1 in D\u00fcsseldorf?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It was unique, great fun, and the 3 days were gone as in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
