Musselman Photography

Established in Mexico City, Mexico in 2001. In 2004 we relocated to Santa Barbara, near Los Angeles, and in 2005 to Los Angeles. We are primarily involved in the following types of photography:

Environmental Portraits
We specialize in environmental portraiture. Examples can be seen in our portfolio.

Documentary
Our documentary projects are carried out on social, scientific and environmental issues. Some are photographed in black and white. Funding for these projects comes from granting agencies, sponsors and patrons. Projects often become exhibitions. Examples can be seen in Projects and Exhibitions.

Tom Musselman

Tom was born in Los Angeles, California, USA. He has a B.S. in Geology from the University of Kansas and a M.S. in Geochemistry from the Colorado School of Mines, both in the USA. After working seven years in two university geology departments, and then seven years of full-time travel as a Field Service Engineer for a mass spectrometer manufacturer, Tom became a full-time photographer in 2001 while living in Mexico City, Mexico.

Tom believes in photographing and publicly displaying issues important to the development of the next generation. The subjects he selects for his personal projects span his social, scientific and environmental concerns. They are treated with a documentary, artistic style that adds interest and beauty to each image.

our logo

Designed by Fernando Morales. It represents a flame being pushed by wind. The flame is symbolic of life - fragile and impermanent, yet defiant and persistent. Whether they embrace progress or demand tradition, societies, cultures and individuals are always changing, always being pushed.

We believe there are many important aspects of our cultures that need to be documented.

this website

We understand that website design is directed by cultural preferences. In some cultures this site is considered clean and efficient. In others it is cold and sober. This design is our preference; the information and the photographs are the important elements.

To minimize distractions when viewing the photos, this website is designed with a black background and no colors, movement, sound, frames or Flash.

For better viewing, adjust your monitor brightness.
