Tom Chambers Art
American
Photographer Tom Chambers was raised in the Amish farm country of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He completed a BFA in 1985 from The Ringling School of Art, Sarasota, Florida majoring in graphic design with an emphasis on photography. Since 1998, Chambers has exhibited photomontage images from ten photographic series both nationally and internationally in 21 solo exhibitions and over seventy group exhibitions and art fairs. Chambers has received fellowships from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
Chambers’s photography is held in the collections of the National Museum of Photography, Bogotá, Colombia; California State Polytechnic University; Santa Barbara Museum of Art, CA; Santa Fe Museum of Art, NM; Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Bangkok, Thailand; Texas Photographic Society; City of Jacksonville, FL - Art in Public Places; University of Texas; Sir Richard Branson, personal collection; and the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Chambers’s work has been published in multiple publications and books. Entropic Kingdom, containing images from five series, was published by Modernbook Editions in 2012. Galerie Vevais published Werkdruck No. 6 in 2015 featuring his Illumination series. A retrospective book, Hearts and Bones, was released in the Fall of 2018, by Unicorn Publishing, London.

Tea for Two
By Tom Chambers
Located in Sante Fe, NM
This is a newly released image from Chambers' most recent series.
Chambers describes his process:
"I initially sketch a concept or idea which I have for an image. Then, I photograph each piece of the photomontage using a Nikon D700 or a medium format film camera, generally a Mamiya Pro TL or a Fuji Rangefinder. The greatest challenge is in making sure the light intensity and direction are similar in each of these shots.
The process of creating a photomontage may take a month or more, depending upon how quickly I am able to get all the shots and sort through them, selecting the ones which work best together. "Pieces" of the final image may include the landscape or background, often shot in sections, as well as the sky, a human figure, an animal, or another object. The processed film is scanned at a high resolution, approximately 80 megabytes per frame. Then, I use Photoshop software with a Macintosh computer...

Illumination Series
Renaissance artists affirmed the transformational nature of light in their classical paintings. Taddeo Gaddi and Giotto di Bondone of the Renaissance period painted breathtaking frescoes in which light created dramatic effects. Artists, such as these masters, inspired me to create photomontages that highlight the aesthetic power of light. Following recent travels in Italy, I was awed by the metaphysical nature of Tuscan light...
