Tom Conroy has been making photographs since he first mixed up a Kodak Tri-Chem-Pak and developed prints from his Brownie camera in sixth grade. Eventually he moved up to 35mm, moved his Beseler enlarger into the family bathroom and learned how to make enlargements. The darkroom soon outgrew the bathroom and it moved into the basement. His father helped build a wall that included a double door so that a person could enter and leave the darkroom without any light drifting in to ruin the pictures.
Along the way, he has used 6x7mm medium format and even 4x5 inch large format camera to produce images in black and white, and color, of breaking news, sporting events, magazine articles and covers, and celebrity portraits. And that is how he found his true love: making images of people.
For many years Tom was a self-confessed "film snob." "Digital is a toy," he thought, "and it will be a long time before it can measure up to film." However, the technology advanced much more quickly than Tom, or anyone, expected and it is now possible to capture beautiful images with a digital SLR camera.
Tom shoots almost exclusively digital for portraits these days, but if you want a photo that can be enlarged to huge proportions, he'll be happy to break out the Mamiya 6x7 for you.
Working in conjunction with TC Productions and numerous makeup artists and stylists, he has photographed models, performers, the guys and girls next door, and of course everyday people like you and me.
