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.

Taking a technically good photograph - that’s the easy bit. Winning the trust of a total stranger on a Papua New Guinean street corner? 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 have repeatedly earned him a place in Luerzer’s Archive Top 200 Advertising Photographers Worldwide.
