Tommy Dickson

Tommy Dickson's series of images examines his need for excitement; a basic human compulsion to transcend "ordinary life with unusual reality."

I find it very carnival experience. I had arrived at the Santa Monica Pier with some vague idea of shooting a model with a 35 mm panoramic camera. I'm so glad she didn't show up. What happened was the kind of miracle I love about photography: the experience of light as life."

Tommy has been shooting since 1987, mostly editorial or personal portraiture. He has work published in HWY 111, House and Garden and Palm Springs Life.
