The contemporary plays a major role in Marc T.’s photography. Thematically and conceptually he always works in a spirit of the contemporary and is little or not at all concerned with the past. The photo he took yesterday only serves to show him the way to taking tomorrow's photo in a different way.

There’s always a human dimension to Marc T.'s photography. You can’t immediately stick a label on his photography, such as social photography or street photography. He doesn't think about that at all, it’s not what makes him tick. The human dimension, in the literal sense of the word, interests him. You can easily photograph an environment devoid of people, or in which people have almost disappeared altogether. That environment can tell us more about humanity. More so than if you were to make a straightforward portrait of someone. He places man in the centre of the environment anyhow, because the environment is man-made. Only then do you have a complete picture. That is a recurring element in his work.
