Elemental (solo exhibition) - Gallery 252, Hamilton
October 1 - 31, 2004
"Elemental is a collection of dramatic conceptual photographs by ultra-realist photographer Kevin Thom. In each image, Thom distills the essence of his subject into a single, special element, supported by pose, classical composition, and theatrical lighting. Thom’s photographs tread the surprisingly narrow border between ultra-realism and surrealism. In a series of emotional portraits and anthropomorphic still lifes, Elemental examines the broad themes of femininity and sensuality, nature, water, and the play of light."
Ultra-Real (solo exhibition) – Staircase Café and Theatre, Hamilton
June 1 - 30, 2003
"In this collection of moody, anthropomorphic still life and avante garde portraiture, Kevin Thom combines exacting lighting, classic compositions and unique perspectives with the latest digital photography techniques. The result is either ultra-reality or surreality."

Hey Kevin
Thank you so much for that comment and for telling me Laura is excited. I'm nervous about the whole thing.... still a little insecure of my work but excited at the same time.

Your portfolio is outstanding. I'm glad you had the opportunity to defend yourself against that tool in the photography forums. It was a very professional and well worded response and the sample images you showed were exceptional.
Best wishes,

Long have I regarded Kevin as someone whos mastery of light is something to aspire to. Truthfully examining his work has taught me more about light then anything else has. If your a model looking at this profile, hoping to work with one of this cities most talented photographers, look no further. All this, I don't even need to say, as Kevins work speaks for itself.
