Background

About Thomas Calder

I’m a multidisciplinary creative with over 15 years experience in Photography, music, filmmaking and design. I started my journey in the creative industries at a very young age; having grown up in a creative family. I was always fascinated with telling stories and exploring the depths of human character and emotion. My love of photography was a natural extension of this in-built curiosity and I bring a passion for truth, whimsy, honesty and beauty to everything I do. For me, the process is just as important as the final product. I’m interested in pushing the medium and discovering new ways of doing things. I don’t want to make things that are disposable. I value quality over quantity and don’t want to spend my life in a fury of experiences that I struggle to remember. I want to make images and music that mean something to, and for people. I want to be present, foster a connection and collaborate in capturing and creating moments that stand the test of time and make some sort of difference. I’m passionate about providing a meaningful experience which inspires transformation, exploration and expression. I've made seven studio albums both in a previous band and now as a solo project, toured the world with respected acts such as Big Thief, Sparkadia, Julia Stone, Matt Corby, Father John Misty, & Of Monsters & Men and played acclaimed festivals such as SXSW twice, Filter’s Culture Collide festival in LA, CMJ NY, The Great Escape, Harvest and Falls Festivals. I was awarded the PDA development award and the Grant mclennan fellowship. Along with music, I'm currently working in the fashion and portrait photography field, as Lead Photographer managing a team of creatives for one of the biggest fashion portrait studios in the world. For creative collaboration, please reach out and drop me a line. Love and all that jazz, Thomas.
