Due to the excellence of his work, Erh has been invited to hold a lecture about his work on the IVRPA - NYC2012, The International Panoramic Photography Conference, held in 2012 in New York City. His lecture was named "1% inspiration and 99% perspiration", in which he presented what is believed to be the first 360 degrees panoramic in motion (Panning) using the multi-row technique.
Thomas grew up in a family which has always breathed photography, so his passion for the art developed at a very early age and has been engrained in his "DNA" ever since. Mr. Erh's father was a cinema photography director, and his mother worked for Kodak for many years. Thomas' brother is also in the creative industry, having worked as an art director in a number of top advertising agencies, before founding his own agency.
His first company, called Thomas Erh Photography, was found in 2003. However, as he became increasingly interested in 360 degrees photography, he would later decide to focus his work mainly in the 360 degrees imaging, founding SHOTS 360 in 2008.
