ART WORKS PHOTOGRAPHY

Tom, a native of St. Catharines, Ontario, has recently organized these works from his photos of the Niagara region and from many years of foreign travel. He began taking photos in the 1960’s with a borrowed Pentax SLR camera, venturing to places such as New York and the Mosport racetrack. Since then Tom has traveled to more than thirty countries and his photos have appeared in various publications, brochures and post cards. In the 1970’s he contributed both articles and photos for Expedition, a magazine dedicated to Central American travel. More recently, he participated in art fairs at the Pumphouse Gallery in Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Grimsby Festival of Art, a juried art show.

In the late 1990’s Tom began using Adobe Photoshop, applying these techniques to achieve a specific appearance. While most of his work remains as unaltered photographs, some of the images have been mildly enhanced and others have had extensive manipulation.

Currently Tom continues to photograph the people and the natural settings of the Niagara Peninsula. He also provides still photos for the local movie production “Above Niagara”, a fictional work in progress about UFOs, set in the Niagara region.

Art Works Photography gallery in St. Catharines offers several photo services including custom photo art, photo restoration and framing.
