Portreti Prešernovih nagrajencev pesnikov in pisateljev  – Tihomir Pinter se je sredi šestdesetih let preteklega stoletja uveljavil z motivi iz železarn. Po letu 1970 se je v Pinterjevem fotografskem opusu pojavila nova tematika. Ob skorajda naključni priložnosti za fotografiranje likovnega umetnika v njegovem ateljeju se je odločil za sistematično fotografsko beleženje likovnih ustvarjalcev, katerim so se v devetdesetih letih pridružili tudi književniki, glasbeniki, igralci in drugi. Med železarskimi motivi in obsežno portretno galerijo slovenskih kulturnih ustvarjalcev lahko potegnemo nekaj vzporednic: prizadevanje za fotografsko zajetje protagonistov v njihovem delovnem okolju, črno-bela fotografska tehnika, povezava portreta s pripovedno noto, uravnoteženost kompozicije, harmonija med človeško figuro in okoljem. Tihomir Pinter je poskušal iz portretirancev poleg zunanjega videza izvabiti vsaj droben vpogled v njihovo notranjo podobo, naravo in značaj. Zato se je portretirancem približal na umirjen, spoštljiv in nevsiljiv način. (Dr. Damir Globočnik)

Portraits of Prešeren Award recipients, poets and writers – Tihomir Pinter established himself in mid sixties with motifs from iron works. A new topic emerged in his work after 1970. After an almost coincidental opportunity to photograph a fine artist in his art studio he decided to systematically document fine artists. In the nineties, he expanded his work to writers, poets, musicians, actors and others. We can draw several parallels between the iron works motifs and a wide array of portraits of artists: his effort to document protagonists in their working environment, the black and white technique, adding a narrative to portraits, balanced composition, the harmony between human figure and the environment. Besides documenting the physical appearance of people he portrayed, Tihomir Pinter tried to obtain at least a glimpse of insight into their inner self, their nature and character. He approached them in a peaceful, respectful and unobtrusive manner. (Dr. Damir Globočnik)
