He was a press photographer in Hamburg, when the sudden passion for bamboos caught him and made him leave his brilliant career. He moved to Italy, in south Piemonte, and set up a small farm where he studied the appetizing uses of bamboo buds to satisfy the most refined tastes.

As his studies widened, his farm grew (you know, bamboos are so explosive)...and today he owns nearly two hectares of cultivations and such a number of species, that he might be considered one of the most important collectors of bamboos.
Thomas has found in bamboos the way to unite his previous job's experience with his new passion, becoming one of the most sensitive photographer of this intriguing species, that steals your heart and then... also wants to be photographed.

New bamboos' lovers can buy his wonderful posters:
