Tom Solo
Born in 1973 near Hamburg, Germany, Tom Solo began his creative career with education as a cabinet maker. After receiving an official governmental award for creative work in carpentry, he studied art and design at a private academy near Aachen (Akademie für Gestaltende Handwerke / Akademie für Handwerksdesign). Here he had his first touch with photography, working with black+white film. After finishing studies he assisted in Düsseldorf for an advertising photographer and was involved for six months at a private actor's academy. In 2000 Tom moved to Barcelona, and Palma de Mallorca. He encountered the photo production business and started assisting photographers in fashion and advertising shootings – soon becoming a photographer himself.

Living in Berlin (Germany) and Palma (Spain), he works on divers editorials & campaigns for international private and corporate clients.

2007/2008 he was hired for the most exciting job since then: A photography reportage of an extraordinary round-the-world trip in a single engine private aircraft.

Tom also is the founder of the PALMA SHIRT COMPANY
