Thomas Says;

 

"I left school in 1986 wondering what the future held in store, I never dreamt that one day I would become an accomplished and highly successful professional photographer, but photography is a love and a passion. I gain no greater satisfaction than witnessing the effect that a single image can have on a client or audience when they see that special shot for the first time, they immediately identify with it and it seems to touch them in such an emotive way".

 

"I have a genuine passion for my profession and love nothing more than testing my photographic skills and professional effectiveness, aligning myself with the scope and vision of individual projects or assignments,employing collaboration, creativity, and best practice in order to facilitate optimum image delivery and ultimatley customer satisfaction". 

 

"I ensure exceptional attention to detail, demanding excellence from myself, always striving to capture more iconic images".

 

"I offer a professional  service, which encompasses a diverse spectrum of commercial photographic arenas. My prices are competitive and as stated above, I am a “Professional”, this means just what it says, photography is my full-time occupation; not a hobby...!"
