Meet the Artist
Tomas is a professional photographer based in the magical archipelagos of Spain’s Canary Islands, in Gran Canaria, off northwestern Africa. He lived in Berlin for a few years but the beauty of the island and its people brought him back. There’s perfect light to take pictures all year round, especially winter. Now, he starts his day early morning to capture diverse landscapes of the island - black lava, white sand beaches, forests and mountains. If it’s not nature, he shoots portraits, people, places they live in or abstracts. Regardless of the subject, he focuses on finding metaphors to create a sense of mystery in his photographs. It’s this keen sense of observation along with his technical abilities that he loves sharing with others. His motto “the more you share, the more you receive.”

It’s a world of adventure unlike anywhere else, with nature that can spark your imagination and creativity.

Tomas is extremely passionate and caring. He's a great teacher and guide - working with the group allowing for flexibility and everyone's personalities to fit into the exercises and schedule. Learned so much - not only was it a lovely trip to some incredibly beautiful places, but my skills developed so much in a short amount of time.

I always was curious about going to the Canary Islands, not knowing anything about it. I launched into this workshop with such excitement. To be able to get feedback of my work, and to work with Tomás, who had worked with my friend Judith, gave me the feeling of incredible growth as a creative individual. We explored many different areas of the island and worked on different aspects of photography Read more

An incredible experience. Tomás was kind, patient but also pushed me out of my comfort zone (in a good way). He adapted the sessions to my needs and experience level. Thanks for an unforgettable week!
