About Tom
Bio
(All in the third person of course)
Tom’s journey has been an arduous one, which explains the sizeable amount of grey hair that he sports. The truth is, he always wanted to be a photographer, but he just had to do a psychology degree first, then get a job working for a strategic marketing consultancy (he still doesn’t quite understand what he was supposed to do there), then move to a large city based financial services company before finally realising none of these would get him any photography time. Reset button hit, and Tom made his final career lurch where he established himself commercially in the world of interiors photography, and on the fine art side working with renowned landscape photographer Charlie Waite. Then he went to live in Tanzania and the rest is history. Well then he moved to The Hague after 5 years, then to London after 3 Dutch years.
Tom believes himself to be wonderfully funny, in a dry kind of way, and can often start a story which seemingly has no end. His love of conservation, wildlife, and the general well-being of the planet only gets stronger the older he gets, and the greyer he gets.
I'm passionate about
Photography. Landscapes. Nature. Space. Creativity. Individuality. And most of all wildlife in all its shapes and sizes.
An idea worth spreading
Laughter is more than a momentary joy. It stays with you and builds empathy and positivity. The laughter stops but the emotion remains for much longer. This creates empathy. And empathy creates behavioural change.
