    300. Thomas Balsamo Reflects on 35 Years in Photography

    World-renowned portrait photographer and lifelong Barrington resident Thomas Balsamo celebrates an impressive 35 years in photography this month.  Thomas, who is known for his remarkable portraiture, recently shared with us his reflections on his very full and ever-changing career.

    As he looked back, Thomas honed in on ten valuable lessons that apply to photography and to life.

    10 Lessons we Learned from Talking with Thomas:

    1. Find your passion, as early as possible.

    Thomas’ uncle Charlie loved photography. When Thomas was a child, his uncle took him under his wing, showing him all he could about the medium. “I loved the darkroom, and the safelights,” Thomas recalls.

    On Thomas’ 10th birthday, his uncle gave him a Kodak Instamatic x-15, and Thomas’ passion was ignited. “I fell in love with capturing life’s moments,” Thomas says. “It wasn’t long before I surpassed my uncle in terms of photographic ability.” Thomas believes in exposing children to as many things as possible, early on in their lives. When something piques their interest, he believes you should do all  you can to support their exploration.
