Tom Bol is an editorial and
commercial photographer based in Colorado. Specializing in
adventure sports, portraits and travel, his editorial assignments
have ranged from photographing mountaineering rangers on Alaska's
Mt. McKinley to sea kayaking in Honduras. He is a contributing
photographer at Canoe and Kayak magazine, a regular contributor for
Digital Photo Magazine and Outdoor Photographer magazine, and his
images and stories are published worldwide by a variety of clients
including Backpacker, Bike, Forbes, LA Times, Mens Journal, MSNBC,
National Geographic Adventure, Outdoor Photographer, Outside,
Runner's World, Rock and Ice, Sailing, Sunset and the Wall Street
Journal.
Tom's commercial work varies from
shooting national ads for camera companies to creating images for
worldwide tourism campaigns. Tom was on the list of National
Geographic Adventure's "50 of America's Top Visionaries" for his
photography, and Nikon, Elinchrom, Manfrotto, and Lowepro have
featured his work. SanDisk memory cards are critical in his work.
He depends on their reliability in extreme environments from arctic
cold to desert heat. Tom also relies on their speed and fast
performance. Many of his subjects are fast moving sports where he
needs a fast card to capture the action.
