Tom is an award-winning landscape and dog photographer based in Whitley Bay, North East England, who brings an outstanding and beautifully curated series of images to his Picfair Store.
Favourite photographer:
I take inspiration from a lot of photographers, especially those within the UK landscape photography scene. Particular favourites include Rachael Talibart, Neil Burnell, David Ward, Paul Kenny, and David Southern.
Top tip:
My best tip would be to master composition. When starting out I think a lot of amateur photographers overlook the impact of good composition and tend to get bogged down by the technical aspects of photography like settings, exposure, focus etc instead. Whilst I appreciate these are important to making good images, for a picture to be considered successful it should be able to hold a viewers attention for as long as possible. I feel it's much more desirable to have a compositionally sound image with a few technical flaws than to have a technically perfect image that nobody spends more than a few seconds looking at because of poor composition.
Favourite photo:
I don't have a single favourite photograph, however my image "Edge of Night' (see below) represents what I'm currently interested in visually. I find capturing the small, often overlooked details within a landscape in a unique and interesting way a really rewarding challenge. Much of my recent work focuses on recurring patterns in nature and trying to record them in an artistic and visually appealing way.
