Tom Wise

Tom spent his professional career as a high school art educator and administrator in the Omaha, Nebraska area. After retirement, Tom decided he wanted to study photography and enrolled in the photography program at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha. While enrolled in the program, Tom took black and white film classes that reawakened memories he had of working in the darkroom with his father, an avid amateur photographer. As a result, Tom took a different route from his original intent of studying digital photography. Instead, he pursued the art of alternative process photographic printing, or ‘alt. process printing’ as it is more commonly known among its practitioners. Alternative process photographic printing consists of processes that were in use from the mid 19th century through the early 20th century. These processes include, but are not limited to, platinum printing, kallitype, cyanotype, gum bichromate printing and carbon prints. What connects all of these processes is that they rely on UV light, and contact printing. Tom’s work is primarily palladium and gold toned kallitypes, gum bichromate prints, cyanotypes and combinations of these processes. Tom moved to Placitas in August, 2019 from Nebraska and looks forward to pursuing his photographic endeavors in the Land of Enchantment.
