Award-winning fine art and portrait photographer Tom Stio was born in Brooklyn, New York. He received his first camera, a Kodak Brownie, as a child in grammar school, and thus began his life-long love affair with photography.
In 1975 Tom moved to Bloomington, Indiana for graduate studies in biology at Indiana University. A few years later he founded Jordan Scientific Company, a laboratory equipment manufacturing company. After operating Jordan Scientific for 16 years, Tom sold the business in 1996, and now pursues a full-time career as a photographer.
Tom has exhibited his photographs in numerous local and regional galleries and museums throughout the Midwest. Tom was also company photographer for the IU Ballet Theatre, the IU Contemporary Dance Program, and the Lotus World Music Festival, and he served as vice-president of the Bloomington Photography Club for several years.
Tom recently collaborated with author Christine Barbour on Indiana Cooks!, a book profiling the chefs and food of 15 of Indiana's top restaurants. Before he left Bloomington, Tom also provided much of the photography for the first few issues of BLOOM, a new magazine celebrating life and culture in Bloomington.
In the Fall of 2006, Tom and his wife Amy moved to the Providence area, enabling them to live closer to family, and exposing a new area of the country to Tom's exceptional images.
Tom brings originality and an artistic sensibility to every photograph he creates, whether it's one of his fine-art exhibition photographs, a striking photo of a restaurant's signature menu item, an artist performing onstage, or an interesting editorial shot for a magazine. Tom will work with you to create exactly the kind of high-impact photographs you need.
