Tom’s photography journey began almost 5 decades ago when he purchased his first interchangeable lens film camera as part of his job requirements at a community newspaper. Since that time he has owned and used a variety of digital camera equipment including full frame, APS-C, Nikon 1, Olympus M4/3, and some point and shoot zoom units. Since mid-2019 Tom has been using Olympus M4/3 camera gear as his primary system. In the spring of 2020 Olympus North America named Tom a ‘Featured Pro’ and profiled his work on their corporate website.
Before launching his own photography website in January 2015, Tom wrote over 145 photography articles that appeared on leading photography websites such as Photography Life, Mirrorless Comparisons, Nikon Rumors and Photo Rumors. Over the past nine years Tom has created and published more than 1,300 articles on his photography website (https://smallsensorphotography.com) and shared almost 14,000 of his original photographs with his readers.
Tom has authored 7 photography related eBooks which have been purchased by readers in more than 30 countries around the world. He currently has several additional photography eBooks under development.
During the period when Tom was doing client work he specialized in industrial photography and safety videos. He also created and produced a custom line of over 150 business-related posters. At the end of 2022 Tom decided to withdraw from client assignments so he could devote more time to his photography website and eBooks.
