Tom Souzer

Tom Souzer is a self-taught photographer based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He uses his camera as way to interact and show emotion through street and portrait-based photography. Shooting with his camera while wandering the streets, he hopes to catch faces and expressions that will stick with you. Nearsighted is an ongoing street portrait project. The series focuses on up-close, portrait-based photos of strangers in Downtown Pittsburgh. His work is in your face, slightly gritty, and thought-provoking.
