a self portait for 2007

After university I photographed golf for TV, resulting in a life long aversion to anything involving small white balls. I love women and buildings, however, so I became a commercial photographer specializing in fashion and architecture. Since those halcyon days I've taught creative photography, photojournalism and scientific photography at the University of Victoria.

Italy and England, the landscape from the Arctic to the tropics, graffiti, the image as metaphor and the nude are areas of ongoing work, along with my Atget re-photographic project in Paris.

Following many years of Leicas, Nikons, Contaxes and Hasselblads and too many hours in the darkroom, I've become a digital convert and work with a Nikon D700, a sweet little Lumix DMC-LX3, a film scanner, a flatbed scanner and Photoshop CS5 with plugins including Eye Candy and Filter Forge. The 'blads were eventually sold to buy a sail boat, from which I never looked back, though I've found too many women don't like being frightened and cold and that's part of what sailing in the Pacific North West is about!

Please have a look at my own website at www.tomgore.ca and my page at Model Mayhem. If you're interested in modeling please drop me a line. I'm always interested in working with some one new and adventurous so please don't be shy.

For biographic info see Who's Who in American Art and the Macmillan Biographical Encyclopedia of Photographic Artists and Innovators.

If you're interested in technical things you might be interested in my lab website at web.uvic.ca/ail. If you cook you might find my sauces page at www.tomgore.ca/sauces.jpg useful.
796,000 views and counting! Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoyed looking at some of my work. Please do not invite my work to any "invitation only groups". I don't support that sort of exclusivity.

    "……………………. to say nothing about his creative, talent gift for artworks combined with an eminent capacity to reproduce us females in his digital artworks. His well-known and famous collection in his stream tells that story.... But………..

    Toms two manipulated images of Venice added to the pool at the Flickr group "Photoshop Art (Celebrating the Art of Photoshop)" are so far one of the best and most important works with help and assistance from Photoshop I have met. By celebrating the art of relatively newborn Photoshop by assisting ancient Venice creates an image of a bridge between new possibilities but also new problems in our global world.

    These two are great and important images facing the major problem for classic Venice. The buildings are falling down due to lack of funds for recovery works. This is an irretrievable loss of a World Heritage.

    Thanks Tom!

    I am convinced that there are a lot of similar causes where a photo shopped product can be more telling than the original photo. Please add your, this was my experience out of an interest for art and architecture when I met Toms images

    "This is some of the finest figure work that I've seen. Exquisite form, content, and symbolism. There are many levels to this work, if the time is taken to peel it apart and contemplate the many layers. A true artist and a treat to peruse. Very rarely do I say this, THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR ART."
