Oh hey! I’m Tommy. What? My story? Well ok…

About moi

As a boy I was born n raised on the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island. It’s a small would be farm-town north of the “big city” of Victoria. Saanich is special, because it’s a place where a Tractor and an Audi R8 share a road, but that’s not why you’re here is it. You’re looking for the dirt! the “nitty gritty” so to speak. Well okay, lets bump this up a couple years. I graduated from Stelly’s Secondary in 2015 and pursued the life of a Photographer and Videographer. Of course it never really just happens does it. Hell I was convinced I’d be a bigshot movie Director for the first year after I graduated. It wasn’t until I went to Europe in 2017 that I really found my groove in the world of Photography. I went back to school under the Digital Production & Communication department of Camosun College where I honed my craft as a proper video/photographer. Getting on a plane and heading back to Europe in 2018 is where my art really started to come through. Some of the best Photos I’ve ever taken were out there. Fast forward a few years I’ve graduated, Covid got me out of my dead-end job and I was working as a full time Videographer in the city where I became the confident and efficient Videographer I am today! OH YEAH I also walk donkeys (Libella and I pictured) and I have a really amazing life all around. If you read all this #1 thank you and #2 I hope you learned something, reach out! lets hang and make cool shit.

“We had Thomas West Photography do employee portraits for our office website. He was great to work with, easy going and natural - made everyone feel comfortable. Even when dealing with someone who was less than enthusiastic about the whole proceeding and who notoriously takes a terrible photo, Thomas came through. We ended up with excellent portraits of everyone. We would definitely use his services again.”
