From my website description:
Edmond Thommen describes himself first, and foremost, as a Photographic Artist.
For him the magic starts with the camera and his photographs.

His artistic expression is a testament to years of careful observation in photography, composition, lighting and design. His skill-set allows him to work with light and shades,
play with compositions and absorb these into his new creations.

The female figure forms the basis of his artworks. They may soften or highlight the
body’s outline by blending it into several layers of images he superimposes on the figure. Sometimes the figure seems to disappear behind a barrage of organic materials or
man-made structures - until the viewer’s eyes start to actively search for the lines that
in his or her mind “must be there” behind the scene.
(see google search: blended nudes, fine art photography).

His work is “layered” and is visually and intellectually demanding on the viewer to find
the form. In doing so, viewers delve beyond the surface. Indeed, Edmond’s photographic artworks encourage us to look; and, if we look properly, ‘to see.’
