Thomas Prior is 30 and is finally getting his shit together.
MOSSLESS: Do you have a camera on you all the time?
TOM PRIOR: No. I used to when I had a real small camera. I carried a camera with me all the time in my early 20’s but sold it for rent money. Now I shoot everything with a medium format or a big digital.
ML: What kind of lighting do you use?
TP: Just a little flash on a pc cord for fill. Most of the time I use natural light.
ML: Where are most of these places you shoot?
TP: This picture is one of the few that I took in New York… its in my apartment hallway here in Brooklyn. I don’t like shooting here and usually self fund trips or shoot snaps when I go on assisting jobs to other parts of the world.
ML: Who do you work for?
TP: I work for Luis Sanchis as his assistant/printer/retoucher. I’ve been with him for 10 years… its more of a friend thing, and the technical photo stuff is kind of second nature by now.
