POR
Thomas Kremer é paulistano (1969), filho de imigrantes alemães que vieram a São Paulo nos anos 60.
Seu contato com a fotografia se iniciou aos 12 anos.
Munido de uma antiga Leica, fotografava, revelava e ampliava em P&B, e seu passatempo juvenil tornou-se sua maior inspiração na vida.
No final dos 80, início dos 90, morou na Alemanha, enquanto era assistente do Pro Studios em Düsseldorf.
Lá trabalhou com grandes nomes da fotografia européia como Axel Gnad, Hans Hansen, Peter Knaup entre outros.
Em 1991 volta ao Brasil e abre seu próprio estúdio, onde inicia sua carreira profissional trabalhando para as principais revistas do mercado editorial brasileiro, atendendo até 22 títulos de revistas mensalmente.
Nesta época inicia seu trabalho de fine art, fazendo tiragens de 8 cópias.
Após a migração para a plataforma digital continuou com a tiragem limitada em formato único de seus trabalhos.
Sua paixão para os ensaios pessoais continua, buscando neles constante renovação visual e expressão pessoal.
Vem desenvolvendo seu trabalho autoral e já publicou 4 livros, cujo foco principal é a necessidade de buscar através do belo o equilíbrio do ser humano com a natureza.
Seus ensaios derivam tanto da fotografia de observação da natureza, quanto da construção da imagem em estúdio.
Sempre chamando a atenção através da beleza estética e técnica, construindo com luz e composição a expressão através da linguagem visual.
O objetivo é a aproximação sinestésica do observador ao olhar artístico.
A intenção é sempre mostrar através do belo a unidade de todos.
