Portfolio/Resume
Tom Van Eynde
As an artist yourself, how did you start shooting slides for other artists?
I went to school for photography with a major in still photography and photo history. I also studied museum practices, which lead to a job in a museum. I started photographing art works for others because I had burned out doing museum work. The photographer at the museum I was working for found she needed a lifestyle change at the same time. So it was an easy change from a career in museum practices, back to my original love of photography. Besides, photographing art is much more interesting than, say, weddings, or babies. Photographing other artists’ work is not as rewarding as doing your own work, but it does allow me to see a wide range of what artists are doing. It also allows me to do my own art without having to worry about funding.
