Tom Gould | Photographer / Director

Auckland

I'm from Auckland, New Zealand. A beautiful little city in the South Pacific. Currently living in the hustle of New York. I am a Photographer / Director. What inspires my work? My surroundings, people, relationships, conflict, tension, happiness, euphoria. The biggest inspiration for my work really comes from people and stories that are untold. I love it because it allows me to open people’s eyes to things that they would have otherwise not seen or paid attention to. Through images and films you can tell a story and share that story with people that are far removed from that lifestyle and way of life. Opening people’s eyes and minds is important to me. My words of advice to others pursuing their passions as a career would be, don’t rely on anyone else. Do it yourself. Find your style and keep your eyes open.
