This is NOT a collection of MY work! These are photos I have found on various websites, magazines
and books, and even historical images from some of the great masters like Helmut Newton and
Man Ray. Of course, there are many photos here from contemporary photographers, living but
not well known...yet.

Why try to copy them? Well, as you will see, these are INCREDIBLE images. I want to try to
understand the lighting concepts more, the posing, etc, in order to make me a better
photographer. My philosophy has always been that if you quit learning, it is time for a
cofin. And I am sure as hell NOT ready for one of those yet!

If there is a photo here of yours, and you object to it being posted here, please drop me a note
at tom@imagesbytom.com. But, as I said, this material is here for educational and editorial
value, nothing more.

YOU MUST EMAIL ME FOR THE PASSWORD AT tom@imagesbytom.com

I DO NOT CLAIM TO HAVE SHOT ANY OF THE PHOTOS IN THIS GROUP OF GALLERIES!
