Thomas Rusch ( * October 10, 1962 in Freiburg im Breisgau) is a German photographer living in Berlin, Hamburg and Paris. ==Life and Work== After finishing school, Thomas Rusch moved to Hamburg in 1981 to start his education as photographer. His first publication was a series of portraits at Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival published in weekly magazine Stern. This was followed by a long-term cooperation with Stern, in which Thomas Rusch published many reportages, portraits and cover pictures.〔H. Karasek, W. Behnken (2002). ''Thomas Rusch - Icon''. Aplanat Edition, Hamburg.〕 At the end of the 1990s Thomas Rusch's portraits of well-known celebrities were published in magazines like Zeitmagazin, Der Spiegel, Max and GQ. At the same time, Rusch showed his artistical work, e.g. ''Paradise Lost'', ''Cirque O'', and ''Die Ecke'' (''The Corner''), in price-winning exhibitions around the world.〔Takahashi, Shuhei (1992). ''Paradise Lost''. Treville, Tokyo.〕 From the late 1990s on, Thomas Rusch lived in Paris. He worked as a beauty- and fashion photographer and published his work in indie publications like Soon, Tank, and Oyster, as well as in numerous international fashion- and lifestyle magazines. Rusch shot campaigns (e.g. for Ray Ban, Beck's, Seat) and developed his own artistical projects. Since 2006, Thomas Rusch is commuting between Paris, Hamburg and Berlin. He is still working for editorials and advertising, but at the same time he is focussing on his work as an artist. In his freelanced projects, Thomas Rusch is concerned with the subjects of sexuality, representation of women in western society, and fetishism. He likes to examine their ambivalent qualities between the private and the public, art and commerce - oscilliating between a clear emphasis on naturalness and an exaggeration of superficiality.〔Najjar, Sherin (2010). ''Thomas Rusch. The Artificial Face – mask and masquerade''. Eyemazing Magazine, No. 3.〕 His last exhibitions were focussing on themes like masks (''Behind'', 2010, portraits of faces with heavy make-up) and skin (''A Fleur de Peau'', 2014, studies on the subject of skin)〔official press release, ("Galerie Bettina Von Arnim – Photographies d’art" ).
