The Singular Improbabilities

• Photographer
  Tom Gore

These pictures are from the Singular Improbabilities, a series of surrealist pieces that question the nature of our reality.

After university I became a commercial photographer specializing in fashion and architecture. Since those days I taught art photography, photo journalism and the history of photography at the University of Victoria for many years. I lecture and write about the history of photography, especially the nude and the portrait. My work lies near an intersection between Piero della Francesca and Salvador Dali, between Sandro Botticelli and Paul Delvaux with a clear nod to Rubens and William Mortensen. I work out of a beautiful large studio in Victoria's historic Chinatown.
