Tom is a freelance photographer based in Billings, Montana. Besides his pursuit of interesting subjects to photograph, he enjoys traveling, hunting and fly fishing; often combining them to capture nature at its best. Tom has been an amateur photographer for over 30 years. He started with film and is now a full-fledged digital convert. He loves the flexibility of the medium and the instant results attained.
Digital cameras and image editing software have revolutionized photography as an art form, placing more creative control, from image capture to print rendering, in the hands of the artist. For most of his images, he strives to show the scene the way his eye saw it at the time and utilizes the available technology to help convey that vision. While he often makes sharpening and contrast adjustments to his photos, the subject matter and natural color palette remain generally unaltered. He is thrilled that he no longer needs to turn over any of the process, such as the developing and printing of an image, to someone else.
Although Tom has traveled and photographed in faraway places like Hong Kong and China, he remains focused on the American west and its immense beauty and diverse wildlife.
