Who is Thomas Lothard?
If you’re interested in street photography, you’ve probably heard of Thomas. Swiss, working in the IT industry until recently, traveling the world hunter of unusual moments from ordinary street time.
But let’s leave his photos, his words and the things he does to tell us who Thomas is …
Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasleuthard/I think, when I act correctly, I can shoot nearly everywhere.Yes, since I don’t like colour and since the world is too colourful these days. I also think it’s easier to shoot in B/W.The soul and vision of the photographer.
It doesn’t happen often and I was never that close that someone could punch me. And there are no photos of such moments.
The observation process is a very personal one. You see what you want to see or what you are interested in. If you don’t have a plan of what you want to shoot, you will not see it. You can see everything you want as long as you concentrate on this one thing.Not that much anymore. Currently I love aesthetics in compositions that work and flatter my eye.
Today it’s a way to express my creativity and to show other photographers how they can improve their photography. And since 6 months I have lived from it.
You can have the best camera in the world, but if your eye can’t see, it won’t make a difference.
The beauty of the ordinary world people don’t see anymore because they are looking for something more beautiful.
In an interesting scene, a perfect composition and your personal touch of creativity. In the end it’s the moment when you realise that it worked out how you expected it.I don’t admire a lot of photographers. But I like this one: Junichi Hakoyama Because he takes a lot of shots I would also like to shoot. But obviously we don’t have such locations over here or I don’t find them.
This is one of the best:A lonely guy who stays on the couch, watches TV, rides a motorbike, walks through the neighbourhood while listening to podcasts and enjoys a self-determined life.Don’t listen to others… ever.I have no idea, but this day will come probably sooner than later.
