I am a collector of unusual imagery, the light of other days and the symphonies of the night - I am a storyteller, a photographic minstrel, a poet. I weave tales of light and dark, of flowers precious and trees with deep dark bark, of the wind carrying adventurer on giant owl's back to far away lands and of the dreamer who at human soul's deep chasm stands, of legends fabled and old, yet they have never been told in the way I do them behold.

A knack for exploration is my main incentive, exploring emotions, feelings, thoughts, perceptions and perspectives. In that regard all my images serve a narrative purpose, everything is deliberate - the angles, the poses, the perspectives, the moods; I am always on the lookout for inspiration and enjoy learning something new every day. Hence you'll find a great variety of photographic subjects in my stream.

    The recreations he build up as as magical to palpable, real.
    The mixture of colors are just simply amazing.
    I'm impressed, and I wait everysingle day for another of his artwork.
    Thumbs up!"

    "It's only fair to reveal first that I am his wife. But this also makes me more critical than the average flickr viewer who comes by the photos of alternate:words because I *know* what goes on behind the scenes and the thought and time Thorsten puts into his work. He is not only a skilled photographer who can explain everything to you about his camera, but he loves to play with lighting and develop images that tell a story - a lot of imagination goes into each of his images. Thorsten is a storyteller and the more you follow his work, the more you get this sense that he is saying more than what, at first glance, the photo reveals. Take it from me, his critical other half, this man is a dedicated photographer who shoots with movies in his mind -- it's just up to the rest of us to put together the scenes and try to see what it is he is imagining."
