This is what Tom says about his work documenting the world’s biodiversity:
“Many ask me what characterizes a good wildlife image. My starting point is that humans and animals are actually quite similar—much more alike than many are willing to admit. Many species possess a high degree of emotional intelligence and therefore have just as much right to a dignified life as humans. In my eyes, a good wildlife image is one I can recognize myself in as a human being, an image that expresses excitement, sorrow, desire, curiosity, fear, hopelessness, happiness, life, etc. That is why I feel deep respect for the animals I photograph, and I hope my images can contribute to greater understanding and respect for nature and for the biodiversity… which is slipping through our fingers.”
