Tom Knowles Photography

I love to tell stories using pictures and although this style of narration is silent, it can still be powerful and convincing. It might be that these stories connect with a futuristic vision of urban space or they could just simply capture an individual's personality.

But one of the wonders of photography is the ability for it to transport you to another place. For that reason I would love to imagine you being taken through a melancholic travelogue of emotion when you see each photo of mine. Sometimes my photos have a simple message, other times they may hint at something a little deeper... the most important thing being your own interpretation and feeling around each one.

My own inspirations are diverse, ranging from '90s electronic music to fond experiences of Latin American metropolitan culture. The fascination of 1990s technology has also influenced my style, despite it being far less ubiquitous than today.

In a world where technology appears to be driving a mass ‘click’ culture of quantity over quality, instead allow me to guide you on a more organic and meaningful journey.

I feel fortunate and lucky enough for some of this journey to be recognised across a range of competitions...
