‘Extravagant ideas are typical of  fashion industry, but I think Tom’s works stand out among others and I was hooked by his style immediately.

‘I’m an aspiring fashion photographer. I recently did a one day, one on one, “editing for impact” course with Tom. My first edited image following the course got me my first magazine front page. Enough said.’

Reviewer’s note: “As far as I’m concerned: Tom Hoops is the Quentin Tarantino of photography. Magnificent and stylized to the point of visual nirvana. You are almost unable to look away.”
