"To love beauty is to see light" - a quote by Victor Hugo captures the quintessence of T.Roth's approach to photography. Since 2002 he lives in New York from where his work ranges far beyond the confines of fashion. "I like to capture the essence of my subjects and topics while putting them in a dramatic context. My inspirations are getting nurtured by music, literature, paintings and actually locations that I like to choose to set a certain mood. One of the keys of creating is to let things happen."     T.Roth was born and grew up in Germany where at thirteen he started to photograph. He studied visual communication/photo-film-design and at the same time began to work in advertising and photojournalism. After graduation at the Fachhochschule Bielefeld he moved to Paris where he immediately started to free-lance as a photo-assistant, first for Condé Nast and later in the renowned Pin Up Studios.

Here and in New York he was hired by some of the most reputable fashion, advertising and editorial- photographers of our time (among them Patrick Demarchelier, Olivier Toscani and Steve Hiett).     T.Roth's photography was published in Marie-Claire, Cosmopolitan, MR Magazine, El Pais Semanal, Libération, Figaro, Jazz Magazine, URB Magazine, Dime Magazine, and MAR Magazine. He has worked on a variety of advertising assignments, including Imclone, Young & Rubicam, Loewe and EMI and has collaborated on assignment with a variety of fashion and life-style websites.     In 2003 the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C accepted T.Roths portfolio of the portrait-work of famous American Jazz-Musicians that he established during his twelve years in Paris. In 2006 T.Roth had an exhibition of his

transcending photographs of boxers in the world-famous boxing Gym Gleason's in Brooklyn NY. The boxing-brand Everlast featured him in their Magazine in 2006. He himself was a member of Gleason's Gym for five years and a practitioner of the "Sweet Science". "Besides photography and travelling it's one of the best ways that I have found for myself to relax and have fun".
