| Kevin Thom is a 31-year old photographer from Hamilton, Ontario. He has been fascinated by photography since his father gave him his first camera-a manual focus viewfinder Zeiss Ikon-at the age of 12. Thom now shoots and processes all of his photos digitally. Although he took some photojournalism courses in university, he is largely self-taught. Thom's conceptual and artistic style is "ultra-realism," which attempts to draw the viewer's eye to a specific detail or element of the subject through the use of shallow depth of field, dramatic lighting, and careful composition. Thom's goal is to apply ultra-realism to showcase the often-unnoticeable beauty of everyday things. Thom's greatest photographic inspirations are theatrical portrait masters like Karsh and Hurrell. He also takes inspiration from the dramatic lighting techniques of Hollywood films. Thom's professional photography practice specializes in glamour and portraiture, model and actor headshots and portfolio work, as well as commercial product shots. |
