Thomas’ automotive passion was sparked early by his uncle and grandfather owning a brace of classic British and American Fords, often in various states of tune. Attending race events and shows in those early days began the ineffable love affair for the hot rod and development of his keen eye for detail. The road and track obsession grew further fueled by the unrepeatable decade of 1990’s British Touring Car racing and Group A Rally.
Entering into the automotive world professionally as a photographer and director in 2008 after gaining an Honors in editorial and advertising, Thomas has had a number of incredible opportunities. Working with leading names in the industry and a plethora of classic vehicles, including his idolized Touring & Rally car heroes such as the 1997 Audi A4 piloted by Emanuele Pirro and the legendary Subaru Impreza WRX ‘P8 WRC’ driven by Colin McRae.
Thomas’ knowledge is broad with a distinct love for Japanese marques and is incredibly motivated to capture unique moments.
