A Thought about Balthus Print

After university I photographed golf for TV, resulting in a life long aversion to anything involving small white balls. I love women and buildings, however, so I became a commercial photographer specializing in fashion and architecture. Since those halcyon days I've taught creative photography, photojournalism and scientific photography at the University of Victoria. Italy and England, the landscape from the Arctic to the tropics, graffiti, the image as metaphor and the nude are areas of ongoing work, along with my Atget re-photographic project in Paris. Following many years of Leicas, Nikons and Hasselblads and too many hours in the darkroom, I've become a digital convert and work with a Nikon D850, a film scanner, a flatbed scanner and Photoshop with plugins including Filter Forge. Please have a look at my own website at https://tomgore.1x.com/. For biographic info see Who's Who in American Art and the Macmillan Biographical Encyclopedia of Photographic Artists and Innovators. My work has won medals from many international competitions and has been widely published. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoyed looking at some of my work.
