    Bittersweet

    “This series is about feelings, sad ones, happy ones and everything in between. It is about joy and fear, it is melancholic and warm, it is about gain and loss, it is about the beginning and the end of life and the whole time in between.” – Christopher Thomas

    Passion, 2010

    From a vow made in 1633, every ten years, the inhabitants of Oberammergau, a small town in Bavaria, put on a show recounting the sufferings, the death and the resurrection of Jesus.

    In 2010, Christopher Thomas decided to photograph these scenes of the Passion. He focused on the expression of the deepest human feelings, hope, suffering, astonishment, horror, joy. The photographs do not represent overall scenes. They are portraits of individuals, those amateurs who embody the protagonists of history: merchants, soldiers, the apostles, Mary, Jesus.
    The shots took place during the rehearsals. The choice of colors - subtle shades of brown, gray, on dark backgrounds, reinforces the expressive power of the images.
    The images refer to the works of great European painters like Holbein the Elder, Caravaggio, Zurbaran, Rembrandt ...

    《孤独的威尼斯》（Venice in solitude, 2012）

    这个往日喧闹的城市，在摄影师的镜头下十分寂静、空无一人。摄影师花了1年的时间，拍摄记录了威尼斯著名的大运河（Grand Canal），里亚托桥（Rialto Bridge），圣马可波罗广场（Piazza San Marco）及其他威尼斯著名的景点。托马斯镜头下的黑白影像展示了一个梦境般的威尼斯。

    《纽约沉睡》（New York Sleeps, 2001）

    Petra Giloy-Hirtz，一位自由职业作家和编辑，在《New York Sleeps》的前言中写道：“Christopher Thomas的作品具有经典的风格。似乎他自己站在时间之外，当黑夜和白天交替的时候，他能够发现城市的本质，追寻永恒的意义。”
    Ulrich Pohlmann，德国慕尼黑摄影博物馆（Fotomuseum München）的馆长，评价道：“不像一般的城市街头摄影师，他们拿着35mm的镜头，随时可以移动到下一个拍摄点。Christopher Thomas摄影的曝光时间长，必须在一个地点拍摄很久，所以必须谨慎地选择拍摄地点和角度。”
