The photographs of Tom Hope not only tell a story individually, but collectively they take you on an adventure all across Japan. What I particularly like are Tom's street photos that have incredible stories to tell and offer a glimpse into a very fascinating culture. He pays great attention to detail and composition, especially with his black and white photographs. Tom is a professional photographer with an artistic eye as depicted in his Tokyo collection. He is also exceptional at sharing thoughts and information with other photographers which only displays the passion he has with his photography and art. Great work Tom, and I look forward to seeing more photographs from a very talented photographer.

A fine Englishman with wit and humour... and good eye for photography! Tomhakase is a smart and kind gentleman, but the enthusiasm for photography drives him crazy when he holds a camera in his hand... he is a fast shooter! Oh, and I like your cheeky grin when shooting serious shots!
