Growing up in Japan, Thomas discovered his passion for photography at the age of 8. His
career began on a small Navy newspaper, the Seahawk, covering local sports and events. The
Seahawk awarded him a letter of appreciation for 'Excellent Photography,' in 1992. Thomas then
embarked on a journey to Seattle in 1994 to attend The Art Institute of Seattle, furthering
his artistic and technical skills, receiving his degree in Commercial Photography. Thomas
developed an innovative and conceptual style, photographing a wide range of subject matter
from the abstract avant-garde, to haunting images of people and nature. His work instills a
mood of introspection and self-reflection, and possesses a sense of wonder that often is lost
after childhood. Thomas prefers to use the medium of film, both color and B&W. He enjoys
perfecting his craft in the darkroom. He says, 'In growing as a fine art photographer, I have
embraced traditional darkroom techniques which I feel that one day may become a lost art in
this world of digital technology. Time spent alone in the darkroom allows me to reflect and
connect with my art.' Thomas continues to exhibit his work all over Seattle.
