Tom is a talented photographer born in Warsaw, Poland currently living and working in Taiwan. He started his photographic career out of passion and his story is fascinating: “When I was a child, my parents worked as freelance photographers in their spare time. I traveled with them every weekend, observing how they photographed local tourist attractions for travel and promotional magazines. At that time I found it very boring. Then one day my father gave me one of his cameras - Praktica B200. He quickly showed me how to focus and told me not to go below 1/60s for shutter speed. I remember we were photographing swamps at the national park that day. I took a picture of a birch almost falling into the water with a beautifully reflected light from the sun. I got that photograph published in a tourism magazine and even got paid for it. I was 12 at that time. More than 10 years later I picked up photography again, out of boredom. I was studying financial computing in London but instead of attending the lectures and getting ready for the exams, I explored the area on my bicycle with a compact camera in my pocket. I soon developed an unreasonable passion for photography, spent all my savings for professional equipment, dropped out of uni and started my first photography course.”
