As a freelance cinematographer, Tom has worked for the BBC, PBS, National Geographic and many others. He is the recipient of four Primetime Emmy Awards for cinematography and two for outstanding series, as well as two BAFTA awards. 

Tom’s experience and comfort working underwater are rivaled by few.

He has experience with underwater ROV technology and manned submarines in waters over a mile deep.
