Surfaces – An Exhibit of Spontaneous Visions by Tom Cameron
Tom Cameron is an accomplished, award-winning photographer. His talent has grown over the last 15 years as he explores the world behind the lens. At this point he has nearly a dozen solo exhibitions in his resume and been published in numerous places including The Windsor Historical Society. I’ve noticed the progressive stages in his work over the years and he is now delving into new and somewhat ephemeral images.

Tom is a participating member of the Canton Artist Guild and displays often at their gallery, The Gallery on the Green in Canton, CT. He is also artist coordinator and regular contributor at the Market Gallery in Collinsville, CT
His passion most certainly involves the water, often on the water in a kayak. His specialty is early morning when the dawn’s low angle lighting provides quiet emotions or misty scenes.
As he states “My photography is predominantly realist, organic, non-composed imagery. I concentrate on waterscapes and their flora and fauna with occasional still life and abstract works.” He colorfully uses the concept of *macchia to describe his approach for this collection. Surfaces contrasts the realist with the more distracted images found in the environment perhaps reflecting the variable movement and lighting effects.
