- Biography
- Thom LaRussa realized and began cultivating his love for photography while pursuing a degree in psychology from Southeastern University. After finishing at Southeastern University he decided to pursue his passion for the art of photography at the Southeast Institute for Photographic Studies in Daytona Beach where he completed his degree and graduated with honors. While still in school he was selected to be in an intern at Walt Disney World and specifically for Disney Photographic Services. After graduation, the Disney corporation sought him out to come and work with them as a photographer where he soon was promoted to Senior Photographer. 4 1/2 years later, Thom left Disney to venture out on his own and hone his skills in photography to the specialization of culinary photographer where he is working today.
Over the past seventeen years, Thom LaRussa has had the privilege of photographing the President of the United States of America, many professional athletes, Miss America, and many assignments for large corporations. Thom's work has been added to the permanent collection of The Southeast Institute of Photographic Studies, featured on the cover of magazines, used in many menus and advertisements across the nation, and hung on giant murals on Broadway in New York City, and he has created simply irresistible food images for some of the world's finest food establishments.

I just checked out your work online. Beautiful photography! I have gone through a couple of food photography sessions and am blown away by the time and detail for one shot.
I saw that you did work for Planet Hollywood. Did you happen to shoot for Earl of Sandwich?

Kim said… - As James just said. I have been quite interested in food photography and would like to know some simple advice you may have. I'm a working chef and love to play with food. To be able to photo it well with a few tips would be awesome. Maybe there are some courses somewhere for beginners. I would like to know your thoughts.
