    The Internet has provided photographers the opportunity to show their work without solicitation.  True Image Photography has taken advantage of this by creating this small showcase. Tommy believes there is room for all photographers in this world of fashion, wedding, events and modeling. A client should always pay for the best photographer they can afford. True Image Photography is committed to providing clients with images that last a lifetime.

    Tommy was a student at Tuskegee University at the time he became interested in photography.  Tommy purchased his first camera, a Nikon FG-20 after he viewed a photo taken by a friend and the person looked better on the photo than in person. The photographer didn't touch up the photo and the subject didn't have on tons of make-up, the photographer just caught her at the right time. Tommy continued to play around with his new found toy for a few years. During these years he was "a guy with a 35 mm camera."

After marrying the love of his life, Tamera, returning from a brief stay in Germany, and pressure from photo lab technicians, Tommy decided to make a little income with his hobby. In 1993, every mall in America had a "mall" studio. Teens and young adults were beating down the doors to get these images. Tommy shot a client's photo after she had just purchased $500.00 worth of mall studio prints. When the photos arrived from the lab, the client showed them to her boyfriend and mother and the words that came out of their mouths became the name of my business.  They both said, "these are True Images of you......those "mall" photos look FAKE." Tommy ordered his first set of business cards the next day.....True Image Photography was born.
