PEOPLE & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY Oct 2017

Thomas Hart Shelby specialises in creating advertising and marketing content for the world's finest luxury brands, hotels, and resorts. He creates unique advertising concepts tailored to his clients' vision and brand.

Every photographer is “award winning”, but Thom’s clients will tell you the only award that matters is a successful campaign that increases revenue and recognition, and that is what he does. Clients such as Sands Venetian and Palazzo, Eau Palm Beach, Tryall Resort, Cliff House Resort, Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Waldorf Astoria, The Cape Hotel, Blackstone Equity, American Express, Sonoma Cutrer and Jack Daniels all have utilised his vision to achieve just that.

Thom began his photographic career under renowned Geographic photographers, Dan Dry and Melissa Farlow. At 16 he spent the summer working in the NY studio of Sing-Si Schwartz documenting costumes for Martha Graham created by the young upstart fashion designer Halston. Through Halston, Thom met and began working for Andy Warhol both commercially and to document Andy and his entourage socially.
