‘A talented and extraordinary British photographer Tom Hoops. Unconventional subjects, heavy use of black and white and a magnetic dark mood in every image make Tom Hoops’ photographic style truly original and recognizable whatever genre he works in (including portraiture, fine art, photojournalism, fashion and commercial photography’
Photo interview
‘Extravagant ideas are typical of the fashion industry, but I think Tom’s works stand out among others and I was hooked by his style immediately. Browsing photographer’s personal website I felt as if I was watching a psychological thriller – strong, compelling, sometimes a bit mad faces I saw there were terrifying and intriguing me simultaneously. Unconventional subjects, heavy use of black and white and a magnetic dark mood in every image make Tom Hoops’ photographic style truly original and recognizable whatever genre he works in.
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.”

Incredible work of art. One of the most difficult things in photography is at night or in dark situations. There are a lot of things to adjust like the lights, apperture and isolation. This guy is just a master of his craft.
This is such powerful stuff – I find his work very different and interesting!
