Street Portraits

Tom ( TBow ) Bowden’s love of street photography began in his early teens and continued in college while studying photojournalism and working at a local NBC Television Station. When he was 15, TBow saw the Diane Arbus, “Child with Toy Hand Grenade” photograph in a High School Library Book. After that, there was never any doubt. He was obsessed. TBow’s work as a photographer and producer have taken him around the world. His work can be viewed on this website and in his two books, Love Street ( available on this website ) and Encounters, Portraits of Americans ( published by Daylight Books and available online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and the Daylight.org website. )

“TBow’s work is excellent and evocative and beautiful. His photographs are stunning in their power to hold our attention and tug at our hearts and minds, stopping us in our tracks and helping us appreciate these people who we might have passed on the street without a second thought.” Maggie Steber

“From snake handlers to street musicians - via a visit from Batwoman - Tom Bowden’s pictures allow us a glimpse at his subject’s souls.” The Guardian

“The pictures are a celebration of colorful, characterful individuals. As someone who always engages with his subjects, TBow likes to learn about their lives and stories before capturing as much of their personality through the lens of his camera.” Isaac Muk / Huck Magazine

“TBow engages with his subjects on the street photographing in a unique participatory style, often recording life stories from the people he photographs. His work reveals a compassion for his subjects and transports viewers into his sometimes brutal, poignant and marvelous world.” DePaola Pictures
