X-Rite - Welcome on board At the end of last month I was delighted and honoured to be invited to become a member of the X-Rite Coloratti Program.
Now let me first say I´m not being paid by X-Rite to say this, nor am I making money on referrals or anything like that. For me this is simply a marketing opportunity that I have been presented with and I´d be a fool to pass up on it.
I don´t talk much a...

About Tom
Toms travelling life began as a teenage hitchhiker, busking his way though the stunning scenery of Scandinavia - without a camera, what can I say he was both young and foolish!
Since this time Tom has hardly settled, he continues to seek adventures in far off lands, admittedly he does now have a camera and he's learnt to use it as a means of visually communicating in a way that will captivate even the most experienced of travelers.
His work has been published in the national and international press as well as guide books and numerous online locations. He relishes taking his camera to some of the worlds craziest events, getting in close amongst the excitement and becoming part of the action.
You can contact Tom here or keep in touch with him on most of the social media platforms.
