Tom Vack’s creative beginnings fall under the golden age of postmodernism. Factors such as naiveté and subconscious memories are introduced in his photographs, and he experiments with cinematic effects and strong effects of light and shade.
“I wanted to make an object in a picture rather than a picture of an object” is his creative mindset. Vack has left the credo of classical object and product photography and today creates expressive, atmospherically dense compositions that give a sense of their stories – subjective, dramatic, poetic.
