Tomas Munoz
Photographer
Tomás Muñoz is somebody that loves to travel, and found a way to do that by taking pictures. With more that 15 years experience in photography, he has taken pictures of everything from political personalities to remote landscapes, along with product shoots and models/glamour. Graduated in Philosophy back in 1995, he learned to contemplate reality from a different point of view; for several years he was lector at a couple of universities in Mexico City, then he quit that academic life for the non-academic pleasure of looking into reality through a little hole in a black machine. He speaks and writes in English, German and some bad Mexican Spanish. When he is not at work he likes go mountain biking, rafting, hiking, or something else that brings contact with Mother Nature. He likes to get involved in projects that give him the opportunity to meet new people and explore new places.
Superhero: Kaliman, a Mexican classic from the 50's and 60's comic culture; he is so powerful, physically but mostly mentally. It's a pity that radio broadcast is no longer on the air.....
Favorite food: well that's hard to say; he loves to eat, so if it tastes good, today's food will be the favorite.
Preferred escapes: Germany, Guatemala, Mexico, Argentina (Patagonia), USA (outdoors), Peru, but I still have a lot of more to see...
