Photography, at its best, brings back the feeling of a moment.

 

 

In my work I strive to be honest to the feeling of the moments I capture, both through camera technique and skilled editing.

Meet the Photographer

Thomas Valine

My love for photography started when I first picked up a camera at the age of nine. Over the years since then I've pushed past the beginner stage of simply snapping pictures, and started searching for what makes a photo truly meaningful. We all have gut feelings about which photos stand out and which don't, but I wanted to figure out what created that difference so I could be intentional in my own work. That curiosity has been recognized with over 15 regional photography awards and a feature in St Croix Valley Magazine.
