About author

For many years, I have been creating under the brand Thomas Voland. Currently in Bangkok, where I have been living since 2013. I specialize in photographing models and photo retouching, with a primary focus on high-end retouching. I am mostly associated with beauty photography, but I also occasionally do fashion, tests, and other types of photoshoots with models. Most of these sessions are in flash lighting, but not exclusively.

On this blog, I describe my experiences and share my knowledge. I don't write often, but many articles are updated so that even though they were published many years ago, they still remain relevant.
