The Photographer
Hey! My name is Tom. I’m a freelance photographer based in Manchester and Leeds. I love capturing people and moments that feel authentic and real. My work focuses on storytelling and emotion; I highlight the small details in humans that feel rare but familiar.
I’ve been a hobbyist photographer for about 3 years, and have been working professionally for about a year now. I wanted to take the time to master my craft before selling my work, and as of October 2025, I can proudly say that I have been working as a freelance Photographer and Actor.
My Style
I love working with and listening to my clients to understand what they are hoping to get out of their photoshoot. I tend to use lots of natural light, raw textures and honest expressions when I shoot in public but if you’re looking for that clean, classier look, I shoot in Studios including Aire Street Studios in Leeds and a variety of studios in Manchester to help get a 100% satisfaction rate with all my clients.
What do I do other than portraits?
I am currently working freelance across Manchester with Resona Magazine, shooting at gigs. I also do brand campaigns, an example of one being a shoot I recently did for SEEN creatives, a drama group providing workshops for SEN children.
If you would like to collaborate, book a shoot or just talk about ideas, please get in touch! You can reach me through the contact page here or on @tbdenphoto on instagram. There’s a link at the bottom x
