Introduction: I am versatile. I love working on all sorts of photography and productions. Whether its spending hours or days getting one shot of a sunset in the desert, or interacting with people at an event and capturing the best moments of their night. It's surely a bonus when a photographer is myopic, but I think my passion and drive to learn and build skills in all sorts of photography comes as a bonus, there are very few situations where I can't pick up the gear and start shooting right away. Every shoot begins with a vision, no matter how commercial or abstract, making that vision a reality takes dedication, creativity, collaboration, planning, and execution. Those are the elements that give any project structure and I enjoy nothing more then seeing the results of successfully completely a well planned project!

My shoot with Thomas was in Venice Beach, CA and it lasted about two and a half/three hours. We went from a quaint apartment room, to the busy boardwalk, to the grass field overlooking the beach, to the sands of the beach. Our shoot was the first time we were meeting each other which can sometimes be an uncomfortable situation especially when it comes to photography. Needless to say depending on the vibe between a photographer and the model it can make or break a shoot. I did not feel uncomfortable with Thomas at all; he was great and made it his top priority to be open and sociable with me and to make me feel as comfortable as possible. He had a clear vision of what he wanted to accomplish which made the flow of the shoot smooth. He was eager to learn new things and experiment with his scenery, atmosphere, and lighting. While trying to draw emotions and certain looks from me Thomas was both encouraging and honest which is much needed and appreciated coming from someone being photographed. Thomas was extremely professional throughout the entire process and his enthusiasm encouraged my enthusiasm. i believe he has plenty of great work and opportunity ahead of him and I would definitely look forward to working with him again.

Thomas made me feel very comfortable and our shoot was super easy. He's got a great attitude and really delivers on his promises. The photos we made are my favorite from my portfolio!

We had a photo session in Berlin with Thomas, trying 3-4 different scenarios, Working with him was so easygoing and fun to me, What I liked the most about working with him was he makes you feel really comfortable in front of his camera, resulting you being natural, also that he know what he wants out of the work, at the same time open to new ideas... I really enjoyed the shooting with him and the photos I have from him in my portfolio are definetly my top favourite photos

I missed our first shoot because I was sick! and was SO worried to call Thomas (a half hour before our shoot) to notify him/cancel. He was beyond professional and easily rescheduled it even though he was flying out the next day. We shot before he left for LAX. The shoot: was amazing. I had so much fun and Thomas had a way of letting me be free and crazy yet pulled me in at the right moments to get back to what we were doing: capturing a moment of authenticity. I highly recommend Thomas Hillard and cannot wait to see where he goes in this world/ praying we can meet up and work together again. Thank you, Thomas! -Actor/Model Spencer Morrissey
