„It's not what you see in the highlights, but what you don't see in the shadows.“ - Greg Gorman in conversation with Thomas Berlin
In 2020 I continued my conversations with people from the photography scene in Europe and America. I had conversations with many very interesting photographers and models. Often the subjects were portraits, nudes, art and analog photography. The interviews are in German or English.
My latest interview was with star photographer Greg Gorman. Greg is a well established photographer in LA and known for his iconic portraits and nudes. We talked about shooting celebrities, how to shape light, the reason to create books, equipment, favorite travel destinations and much more.

The human representation is my photographic focus. This can affect people in everyday situations as well as portraits and nudes. The portrayal of nudity has delighted humanity for millennia and is also a source of joy for me.
Even if a picture itself does not tell a story, it can be the starting point of a story. I hope you find in my galleries at least one picture that can be the starting point of your own story.
In general I give priority to the physical presence of a signed print over a digital image.
