About
With a background in Fine Art and photography, Tom is a passionate image maker and collaborator - happy working on all formats and scales of production.
Tom has worked as a DoP and visual effects supervisor for 25 years, and for much of that time has been shooting plate units and elements alongside main unit on many features, and also 2nd unit on films such as Under the Skin for Jonathan Glazer and Finding Altamira for Hugh Hudson.
Aside from regular cinematography, he has also worked in specialised areas such as models and miniatures, high speed and macro, including extended effects work for Terrence Malick's Imax film 'Voyage Of Time'. Also recently exploring virtual production on a large scale test for a feature film.
His recent drama work includes camera consultancy on Jonathan Glazer’s multi-award nominated ‘Zone of Interest’, shooting a short period film being developed into a feature, a BBC short film for Glazer, a low budget independent feature and a horror pilot for Sky.
Tom has also served as DoP on a number of commercials and promos - including brands such as Canon for Jonathan Glazer, Ballantines, Cheerios, and AIB for Si and Ad / Academy.
