Photographer
CurrentPhotographer Thomas Nondh Jansen (1985, Bangkok) creates colorful still life & food photography. Since being adopted from Thailand and growing up in the Netherlands, ‘home’ is an important theme in his work. With a lot of humor, he transforms everyday objects into something new. In this way he wants to show us the (often hidden) beauty of daily life.

In this book, we follow the fantastic journey of a plastic baby elephant who is lost in the Dutch landscape.
