Specific Visions, Tangibly Recorded.
Beyond standard portraiture, Thomas undertakes specific visual commissions across three primary disciplines: Live Performance, Editorial, and Animal Subjects. Each project is approached with the same rigorous adherence to the analogue medium, utilising the physical properties of film to document unscripted reality.
Whether operating in high-contrast live venues, executing structured editorial briefs, or navigating the unpredictable nature of animal subjects, the methodology remains objective, cinematic, and technically precise.
Executed in dynamic and often low-light environments, this service focuses on the objective documentation of live musical performances. Utilising specific film stocks and precision timing, Thomas captures the raw kinetic energy and structural tension of the concert without the intrusion of digital manipulation. It is a deliberate record of the artist and the transient nature of the live event.

🎸 Live Performance Documentation
Designed for publications, fashion applications, and structured visual narratives. This service provides a comprehensive technical execution of a predefined creative brief. It involves rigorous control over lighting, composition, and film format selection to deliver a cohesive, high-fidelity visual output suitable for commercial or independent publication.

📰 Editorial Commissions
A specialised application of analogue portraiture focused on animal subjects. Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of animals, this service relies on high-speed observational techniques and natural light to capture the subject's authentic temperament. The process is conducted in familiar, low-stress environments—such as a local park or domestic setting—to ensure a genuine, unforced visual record of their specific character.

Special Commissions
⚖️ Commission Logistics and Variable Pricing
The financial structure for special commissions operates on a base-rate system, acknowledging that bespoke projects require scalable resources. The final quotation is determined by the specific parameters of the brief, including the scope of the project, the volume of film stock required, environmental complexities, and any additional laboratory processing specifications. This transparent approach ensures clear communication of costs from the outset.
