Diezel Photography Logo

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!

    "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!"

    "Tommy's a really good guy. He's helped me improve my studio lighting and posing skills quite a bit. Plus, he's introduced me to a lot of hot models.

    Oh yeah, and he's a pretty darned good photographer too."

    "Tommy is an awesome photographer. Unlike amatures like me, he goes straight for the most difficult subjects... people!

    Thanks to him... we had a fun time playing a game of Risk at the Outer Banks Raleigh meetup. Now I know how to rule the world ;)"
