“At the College, we have strong ideas about how we want our publications and documentation of school life to look, and Tom has helped us to refine those ideas into a consistent approach to photography. His photographs are always of a high quality and he understands storytelling through photographs very well. He has a keen ability to interpret even very general briefs and produce photographs that are interesting, representative and, best of all, usable in multiple contexts. He has an outstanding rapport with staff, students and parents (this is one of his great strengths) and can help them to relax in front of the camera so he can take natural shots that tell a story. At events Tom gets great photographs while remaining unobtrusive, and is sensitive to the nuances of a rehearsal or performance so that he doesn’t interfere with student activity. Tom provides excellent service, is flexible, reliable and totally professional in his approach. In short, I cannot recommend Tom highly enough as a photographer in a school. He provides the perfect balance of passion for photography and outstanding production values with an understanding of school life and what is important to our audience. He is a pleasure to work with.”

Sinéad Collins, Director of Communications & Marketing, United World College of South East Asia

“Tom has worked for Felsted for many years now and is the ultimate professional. We fully rely on the images he takes in all our marketing campaigns. Tom is organised, reliable, meets deadlines and is fully compliant with the safety procedures we have in place when working with children. I highly recommend him to meet any brief and provide a professional set of photographs for your business.” 

Sophy Walker, Director of Marketing, Felsted School

“These photos are super, thank you so much! I will definitely come back to you in the future.  Working with you is so uncomplicated, you know exactly what we are looking for.”

Sarah Kirby-Smith, Head of Marketing, Orwell Park School

“These are the best set of photos I've seen for a music event. Thank you SO much to Tom for capturing the evening so well. Absolutely perfect.” Mrs Rachel Clarke, Assistant Director of Preparatory School Music, Felsted Preparatory School

Tom’s photographs are technically strong and he understands the look and feel we are aiming for at Tanglin. At events it is clear that he has understood the nature of the event and his work tells the story of what has happened. In 2014 we rebuilt the school’s website and Tom helped to plan the important photographic element of the new site. We commissioned him to work to a specific brief, shooting portraits to fit the banner as well as other parts of the site, and we were delighted with the results. One of Tom’s strengths is his ability to build relationships quickly. He is excellent at working with teachers and had the sensitivity to understand the teachers’ priorities and not interrupt the activities taking place. When he was in the school he took the time to chat to the Communications Team so that he formed a good relationship with them. With Tom’s personality, approach and high-quality photographs I would recommend him to any prospective client.

Katherine Massey, Marketing Director, Tanglin Trust School

Tom is extremely professional and relaxed, which is reflected in his photography. He takes high-quality photos that neatly capture the essence of our school and pupils. I feel confident Tom will deliver in any scenario and I look forward to working with him more in the future.
