Ottawa photographer Tom Kelly specializes in landscape photography while also enjoying abstract and everyday life experiences through his work.
Photography became part of his life at an early age, sometimes to recall a moment but often as a creative outlet. Tom believes that when he holds camera divine guidance comes through, offering inspiration and insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.
He enjoys investigating art and imagery to understand what the artist saw and how they created their art, often placing himself where the artist was, leaning into their experience (their creative moment). It’s through such study, imagination and simply being in flow that Tom defines his own photography.
Tom hopes to uncover the essence of a subject by stripping it bare of extraneous matter, finding meaning in context. “It’s really about being “ready” when a moment speak to you.”
He has photographed many genres and enjoys working with light and composition in many different ways. He hopes to excite and stir the imagination, allowing viewers of his work to see more, letting their unique moment tell its own story.
