Wohl Photography

Art Director, Photographer, Retoucher

My name is Thomas as known as Wohl Photography. I'm a french photographer based in Berlin, Germany. My path into the visual arts began with graphic design about 15 years ago, making flyers and posters mostly for music events. My whole graphical ideas were based on a digital way to use actual photos. I also worked on 3D modeling and vectors and never thought about photography as a whole way to express myself. In 2017, I had for the first time my hands on a DSLR camera and bought my first one quite quickly. In my free time, I worked on architecture and symmetrical photography, then met professional dancers and artists and the whole concept began.
I work a lot on the picture composition, sometimes doing everything in camera and sometimes mixing with digital elements but i mostly take pictures of all the elements on the set, then insert them in post production. I pay attention to the movement, throwing things in the air, I like to freeze time in action, to make the viewer feel involved in a crazy situation or to simply create a graphical or emotional effect. Nowadays there is a whole Team behind my projects (lighting, accessories, assistents, lost place experts and we try to realize always more cinematic pictures which represent impossible scenes. There are big projects coming along this year and I will try to push the boundaries even more in order to create a unique and impressive content.
