ABOUT
I started documenting city life on Instagram in 2010. A year later, Puma commissioned my first
commercial project. Since then, I have worked internationally for brands across technology, mobility,
travel and culture. Today, almost 700,000 people follow my work on @thomas_k.
My work now extends far beyond publishing on my own channels. I develop and direct campaigns,
photograph and film on location, and advise brands on content, creator marketing and digital
communication. Depending on the brief, I work independently or build the right team around it.
I know this industry from several sides. In 2012, I co-founded the influencer marketing agency visumate
and helped build it until it was acquired by DEPT® in 2018. Alongside that, I developed long-term
partnerships with brands including Samsung, Sony and Turkish Airlines. That combination shapes how I
work today: I understand what a strong image needs, but also what a client, a production and a lasting
collaboration require.
