Thomas Leuthard (85mm) is a street photographer based between Zurich and Luzern in Switzerland. He decided to focus on capturing people in public situations in 2009, using 85mm lens and a Nikon D90 camera. After a while, the photographer realized that the lens are to long for this purpose, so he changed to 50mm, but he kept the technique that evokes irony in situations or intense emotions. Recently Thomas, changed the gear again to a Lumix GF1 and 20mm lens, insisting on being discrete when taking pictures that talk about the society and express social issues.
Thomas recently launched a free book called: Going Candid…An unorthodox approach to Street Photography, so we decided to contact him to find out more about it, about his techniques, inspiration and creative process. Check out the interview below to find out all the details.
