About
THOMAS WINTER -
- is an award winning artist with an entrepreneurial spirit.
"I see each project as an opportunity to create special images that appeal to your senses and emotions," says Tom.
Whether a portrait session or commercial shoot, Tom realizes the creative potential of each subject, resulting in a series of photographs that capture the essence of the individual, group or company.
Tom has won many awards for his landscape photography. His images showcased the city of Stuart, Florida, helping it win a national award for the most beautiful city of it's size.
In addition to his iconic landscapes, Tom's relaxed portrait style has become very popular among families and corporate clients alike.
Tom is a husband and father of two active boys. He knows how important it is for families to capture special moments. Tom has a gift for making time stand still with his camera, and preserving a moment that will last forever.
"I love photographing people". "When people are in front of the camera they are always at their best. It's a wonderful moment to capture the essence of the individual".
Tom has been a photographer since a young age, sharing the darkroom with his radiology career in 1986, and went on to build a multi-million dollar imaging business. Not content to settle for success in one industry, Tom turned his talent and life-long passion for photography into a successful vocation. "Radiology and Photography have strong parallels, they both involve imaging people".
Tom's business background and corporate experience has given him a unique perspective in his commercial photography. Having been in the “hot seat” he understands the importance of delivering on deadline and being a team player.
He has personally studied with master photographers Jay Maisel, Joe McNally, Steve Simon, Tony Corbell, Ron Van Petten, Tony Sweet, and Chris Alvanas.
"Each of these legends has contributed to my personal style," says Tom.
Tom looks forward to infusing your next project with his creative energy.
