Thomas Ruff (b. 1958) is a German photographer and conceptual artist whose series-based work—from passport-style portraits and pixelated internet images to inverted negatives and fractal carpets—challenges how we perceive and manipulate photographic truth. His explorations of color, scale, and technological mediation have made him a defining voice in contemporary photography.
