Photo Manipulation - the art of "shifting images"
All elements of my work are photographed by me (I do not use any “stock” images at all) and then edited in Adobe Photoshop.
Through the manipulation of images and the overlaying of textures, most of my work ends up looking like paintings (and most of my influences are painters too – from Old Masters such as Carravaggio to more recent ones like Klimt and Odd Nerdrum) but it is in the realm of photography and I consider myself a Photographer much more than a Digital Artist (although technically – I am both..)
I am intrigued by the virtually limitless possibilities that can be done digitally to a picture, yet I always seek to make the end result look organic and natural…...

Sigyns Heart says:
"There seems to be no limits to your creativity. At first glance I would imagine people would find you ordinary with your studious gaze. Yet given a second look, or even a third, we all would find you glorious. And we do! Your art, your work, is just amazing. I know I say that often, yet I mean it. It's as if all the memories of the universe, all the dreams and aspirations of human kind itself was sat upon your lap in the form of Pandora's box and you were the one that was brave enough to open it. And you've been glorious to share it in your work. Bravo, Thomas. You not only are one of my favourite artists of all time, you are a great friend. Not only to me, but to everyone else that crosses your path. I am very happy to know you."

"Imaginative, creative, haunting and moving. Just a few words to describe Mr. Imageshifter's work. Amazing use of light, background, location, costumes, effects and subject matter. He’s the Prince of Manips!"

"A tresured contact and friend to have in the art world. His dark, inspirational, twisted, chaotic talent is just beautiful. If I became the ruler of hell, imageshifter would be my decorator."

"Thomas is honestly THE most talented man I have ever seen in regards to ANY type of photo manipulation. He doesn't merely "manipulate"... he creates art. AMAZING art. And he's not just good at that, but he's witty as hell, brilliant, loving, caring, and ridiculously handsome. And if you delete this, I will drive to the ATL just to kick your butt. :) xo - y.m."

"when I visit his photostream I have often a lovecraftian vision: I am walking along an endless dark corridor. That corridor is decorated with thousands niches and in every niche there is a creature, or a spirit, or an ancient deity
I love his visionary power"5th December, 2006
