A MOMENT IN TIME

Photographer: THOMAS H.P. JERUSALEM
Model: Bernadette von Drachenberg
Thomas H.P. Jerusalem (AKA Jerry) is a German photographer living and working in Chicago, Naperville, and St Charles, IL. Thomas H.P. Jerusalem specializes in fashion and conceptual photography. His work has been published on numerous occasions in international magazines, both online and print, and several photographs have won awards. He is listed in the ONE LIFE 2012 Catalog and has a portfolio at Italian VOGUE/PhotoVogue and Art+Commerce/VOGUE NYC. His clients include: ad agencies, magazines, model agencies, publishing companies, designers, and realtors. Jerry combines his background with his photography and style, creating vintage and surrealistic portraits of models in conceptual environments. His work includes dark romantic, edgy, and vintage space-age photography. Growing up during the Cold War in West Germany,  he read his dad’s over-sized NY Photo Academy books from the sixties, which influenced his style. Since he did not  speak English at the time, the descriptive words in the pictures did not make much sense, so he focused on the visual stories behind the images. The passion and perfection that Jerry has for photography can be seen reflected in every image.
