The love of fly-fishing and nature photography has drawn photographer Tommy Adkins across the continent and around the world. Working as fishing guide and ship’s engineer, Tommy has had the opportunity to live and work in a number of ecologically diverse locations, including Colorado, the Bahamas, Palmyra Atoll, and most recently, Hawaii. His travels have taken him from the jungles of S.E. Asia to the fjords of New Zealand. Throughout his work and travels, a Nikon camera has been his consistent and constant companion. With a keen eye for composition and an ability to capture the moment, Tommy’s photographs of the natural world on Hawai’i Island are captivating.
Tommy was raised in and attended university in Ohio. He now calls Hawai’i home and he is continually honing his skills in photography, instilled in him at a young age by his father, documenting the natural world as he sees it.
