Tom Gamache

To get lost in the process with no concern about how the artwork will be viewed by another.....the mode of a true artist!

 

Tom Gamache experienced the wonder and beauty of the outdoors exploring the lakes, rivers and mountains growing up in New England. He attended Boston University’s School of Public Communication where he studied photography and broadcasting. Tom’s earlier career included successful commercial work in both fields. His interest in broadcasting continues, but it is in the field of Landscape Art Photography that he has found mastery, accomplishment and fulfillment.

After more than 25 years as a professional fine art photographer, Gamache has become synonymous with exquisite natural and cultural landscape art photography. His company "Wandering Around Outdoors" was appropriately named for his legendary road trip adventures, often covering many thousands of on-the-ground miles discovering and resolving his experiences into images that capture the art, the power and the ever-changing personality of nature.

His work appears in many domestic and international books and magazines as well as interpretive displays and visitor centers from Maine's Acadia National Park to Sequoia/Kings Canyon, Death Valley and Yosemite National Parks in California. Other recent credits include:
