Most image makers only see a subject through a lens. Tom sees people. Real people. Unconventional, flawed, brilliant, unforgettable human people.
More than people, they’re characters he connects with - and his unique blend of small-town Yorkshire charm and world-class technical wizardry helps him create portraits that the audience connects with too.
Creating technically impressive imagery - that’s the easy bit. Winning the trust of a total stranger on a Papua New Guinean street corner, or talking your way into the home of a senior NRA member?
Yeah, that’s a little tougher.
Whether capturing stills or directing motion, Tom uses this personal connection to gain trust, build friendships and create visual narratives that that have won him a bunch of shiny & impressive awards over the years.
