Tommy is a self-taught photographer, who works with photography and digital image editing creating surrealistic photography dealing with human nature, feelings and thoughts. What Tommy does is he leaves the interpretation of his work up to viewers but also says,
"For me, surrealism is about trying to explain something abstract like a feeling or a thought, expressing the subconscious with a picture. The Reality Rearranged series is my first try at describing reality trough surrealism. During the two and a half years I have worked on the series I have used my own inner life, thoughts and feelings as seeds to my pictures. In that sense the work is very personal, almost like a visual diary. Despite this subjectiveness in the process I hope that the work can engage the viewer in her or his own terms. I want the viewers to produce their own questions and answers when looking at the pictures, my own interpretations are really irrelevant in this context. "
In the last couple of years he has received international recognition his work shown in many publications and receiving awards and honorable mentions from many different competitions. I think is work is surprising, different, abstract and makes you think about it for a long time thinking what it means and what message is behind it.
