Bio of Tom Ross Photographer

Tom’s involvement in photography began over 30 years ago. His interest in visual arts was stimulated during college while taking a TV production class. While his concentration is primarily photographic art and portraiture, he also performs commercial and commissioned work.

Tom’s philosophy of continuous education in photography is apparent, frequently attending workshops, classes and lectures. He has studied the work of and been influenced by Edward Weston, Richard Avedon, Francesca Woodman, Diane Arbus and Ralph Eugene Meatyard to name a few.

Work is produced using film formats from 35mm to 8x10 view cameras. High-resolution digital cameras are also used for commercial and artwork. Tom maintains total control of his finished product by performing all of his own processing, whether traditional silver gelatin darkroom prints or archival giclee.
Tom is a juried member of The Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen and a member of The Augusta Art Guild, The Kentucky Professional Photographers Association and The Lexington Art League.

His work is in private collections throughout the world and displayed in various shops and galleries as well as his own small studio. Tom’s work is frequently exhibited at a variety of art shows and sales.
