Rin Thieme

My journey began out of an uncontainable longing for the picturesque - a passion I've always worn on my sleeve. This urge eventually led me into becoming a concert and portrait photographer.

‘Avant-garde speed drawing’ - supposedly a trivialization used to belittle the art behind photography, but too an expression that deeply resonated within me. Perfectly polished, mute coloured images never seemed to haunt my daydreams like the handcrafted paintings hung up in galleries did. It’s not an ordinary person I capture – those are divine personalities with a story to tell.
