Executive Summary

Great images don’t just happen; they are made.
They take practice, preparation, and teamwork. At TKP
we understand this, and know the work begins well
before we ever step on location for a shoot.
Telling stories is built into the DNA of Tom Kise
Photography (TKP). Our roots are in public affairs and
communication, we have taken that experience and
applied it to capturing images that tell a clients story.
We know that the story does not always present
itself at the center of the action, but in small
intimate moments. We know when to turn the camera
away from the "stage" to find those moments.

Tom Kise, Founder and Photographer

I have spent my career helping to tell other people’s stories through the art of
the narrative. My storytelling has helped larger than life politicians like Arnold
Schwarzenegger and John McCain tell their stories to mass audiences.
The power of a good narrative story has allowed me to do my part to give
abused children a voice to tell their stories and to give businesses the time
they needed to be more environmentally conscious.
However, my story like so many others has not gone as planned. As a
lymphoma survivor, I have stared down cancer first hand; besides, the many
uncertainness of the great recession, but we have grown stronger for it.
But, through it, all has been the power of photography. During the hard times,
I turned my attention to a long-held passion for photography as a way of
finding the joy in everyday life. At first, this was often about taking pictures of
my then small sons, but over time, it grew into much more. What was once a
personal passion has grown into a vocation.
Through Tom Kise Photography (TKP), I combine the art of the narrative
learned through many years of campaigning with the power of photography –
to make pictures and tell stories.
I look forward to learning about your story and telling it together.
