Psycho Surfer



A recent addition to our gallery of images is a print titled Psycho Surfer. To the casual viewer they may feel that the house is not real and that this is a visual trick via photo shop. Well I have to reassured all that the house is in fact real and was featured in the film "Nights in Rodanthe" starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane. This was captured on a recent photo trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I was there to take in the beauty of the day after Hurricane Bill paid a visit, the seas were still rough and the clouds as you can see were still quite dramatic.

Making of the image

This shot came almost by chance I was setting up to capture the ebb and flow of the ocean flowing around the house when out the corner of my eye I spotted a surfer leaving the water further down the beach. I thought to myself this shot would be that much richer if I had a person there and the next minute this surfer who goes by the name "Iceman" was looking over my shoulder saying he loved photography and began to ask the usual questions one does e.g what F stop are you shooting etc... I simply said " I need you in this image grab your board and lets go" once in place we shoot a series of images and there we have it.

Place your bets

It has come to my attention since, that the local people of the area are taking bets on when the house will be taken by the ocean.I fear if it ever doe's I'm sure it will be sadly missed.

As they say catch them while you can,here today gone tomorrow.
btw. It's still on the market location location

Introduction to Photo Art

Welcome to Tom McGhee Photo Art.

For sometime now I have received ongoing requests from both clients and friends alike for a easy way to purchase prints from my Fine Art portfolio.

Now I believe I have found a online solution to service all.

I am truly excited to be able to offer this opportunity for all to not only purchase signed limited edition Fine Art archival prints, but in addition many of these images are also available to agencies for use in other more commercial applications via a online download option.

If you have any requests outside of the image options available on this site please feel free to contact our gallery room. gallery@tommcgheephoto.com
