They say that if you truly love your job, the results will be rewarded for all your work. Tom Arma confirms this statement with his own example. In love with his work to the depths of his soul, he was able to become a real master, famous throughout the world. And the competition with him, I must say, has always been huge.
For a long time, Tom worked as a simple reporter for a well-known publication. At work, he intersected with celebrities, including even Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood. But his photographs were glorified, in which people who have neither world-wide fame nor outstanding merit are captured.
Inspiration - in children
Once Tom received an unusual order. A children's photo shoot was for him a completely new craft, about which he did not have any academic knowledge. Perhaps this played a role - free from stereotypes and hackneyed stamps, Tom took great pictures. He was so captivated by the result that he decided to continue working with children. Moreover, Tom Arma invented and created a large series of children's costumes for photo shoots.
“Save the animals”
One of the most famous and beloved collections in the world of the photographer is dedicated to environmental protection. “Please save the animals,” Tom Arm calls out to all who care. The costumes are made in the form of wild animals: polar and brown bears, elephants and rhinos, giraffes and lions. Cute children's faces emphasize the effect, causing in the viewer a desire to protect, protect, take care.
Tom was very inspired by the work, and the result he was very pleased with. The photographer continued to work in this direction, creating a huge number of costumes for children's photo shoots in the image of a variety of animals.
Pictures flew all over the planet in a matter of days. For many years they have been used by ecologists in various actions. And the costumes used in Tom’s photo shoot are now available in different sizes and are sold in many countries around the world.
Berry mood
Many mothers call their babies strawberries or peaches. They were the first to appreciate Tom’s fruit and vegetable creations. The photographer takes off the kids dressed up in bright plush costumes and hats that make them look like sweet berries. Tom produces such outfits for both newborns and children who can sit on their own.
Horoscope for the smallest
No less successful is Tom's work on the zodiac signs. The children's photo session brought together 12 kids, each of whom is dressed in a suit according to the horoscope. If Tom used plush and faux fur for animal images, the zodiac costumes for the photo shoot are minimalistic: they consist of short leggings made of shiny fabric, a headdress and accessories.
Today, costumes from this series are sold in many stores for photographers, children's department stores, and specialized boutiques for festive and carnival clothing. And images of smiling kids can often be found on postcards and calendars.
Dino
Volumes are inspired not only by those animals that live on the planet these days. He also creates magnificent costumes for photo shoots in the form of dinosaurs. Spikes, wings, horns, plates and huge tails are made of the lightest synthetic winterizer. These wonderful outfits will not only help to create cool images in photography, but will also allow the baby to be interested in new knowledge.
Underwater world
The next creation, which created Tom Arm, is dedicated to the inhabitants of the deep sea. Starfish, fish, octopuses, squids became a source of inspiration for the master. Children dressed in bright costumes look very elegant and spectacular.
Holiday images
Tom Arma devotes a lot of attention to photo sessions dedicated to special days. For example, a series of clothes dedicated to Christmas allows not only to find a wonderful costume for the baby, but also to arrange a memorable photoset. Captured photos with a child can be used as greeting cards.
The flower photo shoot of Tom is extremely popular: kids in hats with lush petals are often published on postcards and various souvenir products.
Today, photo artist Tom Arma, who has dedicated work with children for over 40 years, continues to take pictures of babies and create charming clothes for them.
