I have been fortunate to have operated in some of the wildest and remotest destinations on the planet; travelling to and working in more that 85 countries on six different continents and in all environments. I am an award winning photographer, an experienced expedition leader, travel consultant, producer, director, and location manager for TV productions. I served in the British Army where he led Combat Camera Teams to areas including Iraq and Afghanistan and was responsible for placing stories involving the Armed Forces in the international Press. I then set up Tom McShane Photography, and worked as a freelance Expedition Leader. Tom recently worked with the specialist expedition company, Secret Compass as their Operations Director. I was the Production Photographer, Expedition Leader and Location Manager for the epic world first expedition, ‘Walking The Nile”; where Explorer Levison Wood set out to be the first person to walk the length of the River Nile. This was filmed for a Channel 4 documentary and Tom’s Images of this expedition have been published world-wide, on front covers of best-selling books, magazines and newspapers. I then went on to manage the hugely successful second series, “Walking the Himalayas”, where Levison walked from Afghanistan to Bhutan. I have also been awarded Fellowship of the Royal Geographical Society. The renowned series of videos for Jägermeister, called the Ice Cold Gigs were planned, produced and directed by myself. I had sole responsibility for the photography and led the video which won a Guinness World Record for performing the first ever gig on a moving Iceberg in Greenland! I have been been nominated for several awards. As a successful photographer, my portfolio of the Mundari tribe in South Sudan resulted in being shortlisted in the finals of the prestigious International Travel Photographer of The Year and my photographic study on the loss of the Aral Sea in Uzbekistan, gained second place in the Professional Portfolio category of the Wanderlust Travel Photographer of The Year.
