About this Episode

Tom Richmond is an amazing personality and an amazing guy. Someone who has worked with masters and newbies alike, always bringing a commitment to making beautiful images, Richmond never quits on an image or a project. He has a love of photography, editing, and as a DP, he knows how to make things work and lift the films beyond their original conception.  Richmond is one wild, truly intuitive cat and we loved talking with him.  Pearls of wisdom just fly out of him like marbles from an eight year old on the playground, and if you watch or listen more, you’ll see why…..
