Peter will be talking to Tom Hawkins from Vancouver, Canada who is currently working in New York.

SHOW NOTES ANSWERED QUESTIONS
Arden from St. Louis

I think one thing that you guys aren’t talking about is what kind of photographer do you want to be, a star or someone that scrapes a living together based on whatever they can get. I think there is a real divide here.

Austin

It seems that very produced images are very popular in magazines today – do you think just as some photographers resisted moving to digital others are resisting working on an image after the fact.

Tom from Calgary

I’d like to ask the round table, where is the industry moving towards in terms of cameras, is it lighter DSLRs or medium formats with digital back?

Aaron Sykes

Do you guys have any lighting tips and what gear do you use?

Lucy NYC

Tom – did I really see Gaga on your website??

Show notes still have to be added.

What Tom has done with showing his best work is a no brainer if you ask me – people want to BE those beautiful people, even though they aren’t. Even if he does other work in addition to the big profile stuff, people don’t get intimidated if you ask me.
