My work lies near an intersection between Piero della Francesca and Salvador Dali, between Sandro Botticelli and Paul Delvaux with a clear nod to Rubens and William Mortensen. Current work includes street photography in Europe, the image as metaphor and the nude, both in the studio and the landscape. I work out of a beautiful large studio in Victoria's historic Chinatown and shoot with a Nikon D850, the trinity of lenses and work in Adobe's Photoshop with a mess of plug-ins.
After university I became a commercial photographer specializing in fashion and architecture. Since those days I taught art photography, photo journalism and the history of photography at the University of Victoria for many years. I lecture and write about the history of photography, especially the nude and the portrait, and have won many awards including the Photographic Society of America's for critical writing and Gold medals from Muse Photography Awards, Graphis, Pannonia, Prague and Slovenska, Silver from New York Photography Awards, Toronto, One Eyeland and Photo Shoot Awards and Bronze from Moscow, Trierenberg, London International Creative and Photo is Light. I've curated or juried more than fifty exhibitions of photography and served on the boards of the Society for Photographic Education, the BC Civil Liberties Association, the Canadian Federation of Rights and Liberties and the Professional Employees Association. For biographic info see my listings in Who's Who in American Art and the Macmillan Encyclopedia of Photographic Artists and Innovators.

Fabulous photo stream. Hot Sexy Sensual and beautiful. You have captured it all. Thanks for sharing. We always look forward to your next masterpiece
Amazing work. This is the kind of work that makes me long for a time when we have higher and higher resolution screens and larger displays. Gore's artwork is the kind you eat slowly, with knife and fork, and then come back to day after day.
Tom Gore's work excites me and leaves me breathless. As a woman, I appreciate the wisdom and sensitivity of his work. I envy the ladies who have had the opportunity to model for him. I love the artists and styles of the painters in Paris in the 1920's - Foujita, Chagall, Picasso, Modigliani - and would loved to have po… Read more
Tom Gore's work excites me and leaves me breathless. As a woman, I appreciate the wisdom and sensitivity of his work. I envy the ladies who have had the opportunity to model for him. I love the artists and styles of the painters in Paris in the 1920's - Foujita, Chagall, Picasso, Modigliani - and would loved to have posed naked for them and therein have been immortalized. In my eyes, Tom's contemporary art is comparable.

……………………. to say nothing about his creative, talent gift for artworks combined with an eminent capacity to reproduce us females in his digital artworks. His well-known and famous collection in his stream tells that story.... But……….. Toms two manipulated images of Venice added to the pool at the Flickr group "Photoshop Art (Celebrating the Art of Photoshop)" are so far one of the best and most important works with help and assistance from Photoshop I have met. By celebrating the art of relatively newborn Photoshop by assisting ancient Venice creates an image of a bridge between new possibilities but also new problems in our global world. These two are great and important images facing the major problem for classic Venice. The buildings are falling down due to lack of funds for recovery works. This is an irretrievable loss of a World Heritage. www.flickr.com/ph... Thanks Tom! I am convinced that there are a lot of similar causes where a photo shopped product can be more telling than the original photo. Please add your, this was my experience out of an interest for art and architecture when I met Toms images Beatrice

This is some of the finest figure work that I've seen. Exquisite form, content, and symbolism. There are many levels to this work, if the time is taken to peel it apart and contemplate the many layers. A true artist and a treat to peruse. Very rarely do I say this, THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR ART.
