People I'm Jealous of Saturdays...Errr Sunday

Hey Y'all,

I have to apologize as People I'm Jealous of Saturdays was moved to Sunday this week in order to accommodate my shooting schedule but in the long run that means I have work of my own to show you in the near future! I'm sure you were all itching with anticipation...you couldn't wait to see who I was going to choose next, right? Well without further adieu, here is my choice for this week: Tom Munro.

Tom Munro is an amazing fashion photographer and if you've picked up an issue of Vogue, Vanity Fair, or Elle lately you're likely to have seen his photographs grace the pages. Tom Munro began his career in photography in his twenties after attending Parsons and assisting world renowned photographer Steven Meisel. When you look at his images I think the influence of Meisel is heavily visible in the way he pushes boundaries and shows us the most unlikely of scenes. To me, Munro's work looks like he's caught everyone off guard. The models and/or celebrities came in expecting a photography shoot and Munro pounced before anyone was settled in order to deliver the raw, uncut version. Munro had a great quote in a recent Elle magazine interview that I felt shed light onto what sets him apart,


Photography is a way of life, more than a job. You have to live and breathe it and be passionate about what you're doing. It needs to be fed and nurtured and isn't something you can pick up and put down. In a way, it consumes your life."


I can totally relate to that and completely resontate with Munro's images.


Take a peek!
