Biography

In 1987 Thomas Dressler swapped his career in the tourism industry of Europe for the endless African savannahs. Photography was a path that allowed him to follow the dream to explore this great continent – and make ends meet. Whilst his love affair with Africa is constantly being rekindled, other new photo destinations have been added in more recent years, in particular southern Morocco, Southwest USA and Spain, with emphasis on its southernmost province Andalusia.
