I am a commercial photographer - fashion, glamour, beauty, advertising, weddings, events, portraits, etc. I started out as a photographer when I bought my first DSLR on April 1st, 2005. I owe a lot to a number of photographers who have been very generous with their sharing of knowledge, and I strive to do the same for others. So if you have a question please contact me! I would be more than happy to share any information I know. I am enjoying learning as much as I can, and trying to be as creative and versatile as possible. I am a Native American, originally from Oklahoma City, but now residing in Durham, NC. Enjoy!

_Massimo_ says:
"Tommy introduced me to a world previously unknown to me: hot models! Before meeting Tommy, I thought that models in magazine were androids: he showed me that they really exist!
He also showed me how to work in a studio and patiently taught me several lighting tricks. He rocks and he is such a great guy!
And his totally jealous of my chest hair!"17th November, 2007

Oh yeah, and he's a pretty darned good photographer too."5th January, 2007
