The Rain

Concept

Thomas H.P. Jerusalem's childhood during the Cold War in West Germany and his father’s over-sized 1960's Photo Academy books from the 'Famous Photographers School, Westport, Connecticut' by Irving Penn, Bert Stern and others influenced his style that emphasizes atmosphere and strong narrative. Thomas H.P. Jerusalem started his career with Street Photography and Photojournalism, both very expressive ways of photography that forged his distinctive sensitive approach.

His work includes street and streetstyle photography, dark romantic, high-fashion, avant-garde as well as vintage space-age and minimalism photography with an European touch. His models are often placed in surreal environments - devastated, displaced, out of the world. Their appearances eerie and edgy with rebel and punk influences. Often spiced with irony and sarcasm. But always with a strong meaning or statement. His photographs are strong and are telling stories. His portraits are capturing souls - not just faces.
