Agency Owner, Photographer, Videographer - Gareth M Thomas

In the early 2010’s, already a seasoned professional photo-journalist, Gareth decided to bring his multi faceted skill-set to the world of corporate events photography and videography.
He had already completed over a decade of photo assignment work for Global News Outlets such as The Daily Mail, People Magazine, The New York Post, Bunte, Paris Match, and TV and Online outlets too numerous to list, while running his own photo agency with partner Chola Reavley-Thomas and between them managing more than 400+ contributing photographers Worldwide, and the sales and management of almost a million photo and video news-assets.
“Photo-journalism is all about being in the right place at the right time…..every time” he says, “and delivering high quality images that tell a story and create an emotional response, often under pressure and sometimes with seconds to spare”.
These abilities quickly led to Gareth’s ever expanding list of satisfied corporate events photography and business photography and videography clients such as Nissan, Sleep Number, The Home Depot, Royal Caribbean. See more here.
Like all business owners, he regularly spends time researching competitors online, and he repeatedly spots that the top tier of corporate event photographers online today, have more often than not been in photo-journalism at one time or another.
Prior to the photo industry, Gareth was a World Touring Musician with number one selling UK act “Doctor And The Medics, and Bermudan singer song/writer “Heather Nova” to name a few, and still counts live music performance as a top leisure activity.
Always early for showtime, and always with a bright and breezy attitude with everyone onsite, Gareth gives 110% himself in everything he does.
Whether he is fading into the background at a lo-key corporate dinner event in Miami, or hanging on for dear life while shooting off the back of a speeding motorboat at an incentive event in Cancun Bay, you can rest assured that he will “get the shot”.
During the copyright infringement epidemic of the 2010’s, he helped establish US Case Law in photographic copyright infringement, helping to protect this valuable medium for generations to come.
Three years Professional Promotions Event Management in the 1990’s with companies like Red Bull, Hyundai and Guinness, developed Gareth’s deep insight into marketing & branding, and inside understanding of experiential events, brand activations, awards events, conventions, expos and more.
Finally, and most recently, Gareth is now an officially accredited Formula One Grand Prix Photographer. As a member now, of one of The Worlds most exclusive and fast paced sports photo communities, he covered The 2022 and 2023 Miami Grand Prix events from the pit and paddock.
Gareth is equally comfortable documenting your event photographically or video-graphically, to matching standards of excellence.
