Numero 97 Photography, Val Thorens

He graduated from The Surrey Institute of Art and Design and focussed his career in photographic post-production for big names such as Time magazine, Sky, AOL and Harrods whilst producing cover material for the likes of Banksy and the Streets. This gave Thomas invaluable experience in all aspects of the photography industry, from managing photo shoots to delivering finished products.

After eight years working in the industry Thomas become a freelance photographer. With a passionate background in design, he has the ability to see things from new perspectives and captures mood and atmosphere in his work in simplistic, graphical styles. At the same time his love of the outdoors - climbing, biking and skiing - has lead him into the exciting field of adventure sports photography. Moving to Chamonix has provided the perfect environment in which he can combine his photography passions. He is constantly inspired by athletes who push themselves and their sport to the limit, whilst the stunning landscapes that he works in are a constant source of creativity.

For the last two years Thomas has also been shooting professional interiors for the full range of chalets, boutique hotels and apartments. He works closely with stylists to transform interiors and help businesses realise their full potential.

Working behind the lens, Thomas transforms his creativity and passion into truly unique and inspirational images.
