Photographer 11 | Kyle Thompson

Thompson is a young American photographer, best known for his surrealist self portraits. During college, he was interested in photography but he did not go through a formal eduction in photography. However, photography has became some sort of therapy to him at the age of nineteen when he was suffering from anxiety of life.

Thompson specializes in self-portraitures. He usually spends hours, even days to explore new locations for shooting, such as forests, mountain, abandoned houses and etc. His portraits are usually conceptual, depicting his personal traits and emotions. By applying water, smoke and lighting effects, Thompson enhances his photos with surreal feel.

His work are often well planned. He usually draws out all of the concepts in his mind before deciding on location and time, costumes, poses and etc.
