Thomas Koenig

Photography

I have been a Graphics Communication Professional and Communication Designer for over 25 years – on two different continents and in two different languages. My work has included all aspects of graphics communication, photography, design and creative concept. Photography is my artistic outlet, and I have shown in several exhibits in South Carolina.

Art, photography and graphics communication for me is not only a profession; it is personal, from changes in technique, technology to changes in communication itself. I joined West Main Artist Co-op to explore creative collaborations and the opportunity to return to my craftsmen roots in print.
