Navigating with calmness and consideration, my approach to your day walks the balance between my strongly developed and non-invasive documentary practice, and carefully directed editorial style.
In my exploration of the interaction between communities and the landscape, I am as experienced in quickly earning the trust and rapport as he is experienced with his camera. Aiming to seamlessly blend in amongst the close friends and family present

Infinitely more comfortable behind than in front of the camera.
My idea of a perfect wedding photographer is someone who already feels like a fond friend.
familiar with traditional photographic practice, I am a highly skilled analogue photographer, with a deep understanding of 35mm and medium format film - which informs my digital photography.
if i had to pick one camera to use until the end of time, it would be my mamiya rb67 - which would outlive me!
I'm Tom, a Bath based photographer, working across the UK.
Sometimes cliches are just true. I can't remember a time where photography wasn't my life's most all-consuming obsession. My journey began with a humble iPod, until I inherited my Grandfather's Nikon 35mm film camera - this one gesture determining the literal viewfinder through which I continue to see the world.
A few short years and numerous rolls of film later, I was studying photography at university - cutting my teeth in Fine Art Documentary Practice. I remained committed to analogue film, hand developing and printing much of my 1st Class BA HONS in the darkroom.
Film sharpened my technical knowledge of Photography and understanding of light - demanding the upmost care and consideration. My considered approach, informed by film, continues to dictate how I work digitally - honouring the craft's tradition.
My human, narrative led approach to Documentary Photography has always informed my approach to Weddings - story led, people centric, with a keen observation of detail.
