Special Effects Photography by Thomas Herbrich

"Surprise yourself and your audience!” That's the mantra of Thomas Herbrich, photographer and photo manipulating extraordinaire. With a client list that includes BMW, Mercedes Benz, Sony, Toyota, Volkswagen, Ikea and Lego, this professional is sought after for making brands come alive. More than that, he takes photos more or less the same way an artist paints a picture or a filmmaker adds special effects: with an endless amount of imagination. His spectacular scenes are meant to look realistic but always incorporate a strange twist.

CNN: Guatemalan Sinkholes

CNN Boss: We need a photo of the damage. And it has to be dramatic.
Peon: OK, I'll see if I can contact Guatemalan authorities.
CNN Boss: No time for that!
Peon: Then what should I do?
CNN Boss: Scan this in. Circle around the hole. Place over this picture. Also scan in these lights. Put them in the hole.
Peon: I don't think this is going to work.
CNN Boss: When's the last time I cared what you think? Get it done, NOW!
Peon: OK... How's this?
CNN Boss: Perfect! Now upload it, this story is breaking goddammit!
Peon: I think I'll include this in my portfolio for my freelance business.
