Thomas Winter grew up In Vallejo on the San Francisco Bay and graduated with a degree in architecture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1973.  From 1970 to 1972 he studied architecture and photography at the Danish Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen.  He participated in the 1980 Ansel Adams Yosemite and the 1985 Owens Valley Workshops.  After a career in architectural design, construction, and historic preservation he retired and moved to Ashland, Oregon where photography occupies his working hours.

His work is steeped in traditional photography, but his creative interests are not limited by tradition. His portfolio of subjects and styles is diverse. Over 50+ years he has created a large archive of film and digital images and is currently working with multiple film and digital formats. He is also exploring the use of alternate processes including special ink sets enabling split-tone prints and printing on vellum with applied metal leaf. 

He has images in private collections and exhibited at the Griffin Museum of Photography and in their permanent collection; the Center for Photographic Art, Carmel; Feature Shoot Posters, NYC; Clamp Art Gallery, NYC; FotoForum Santa F; Southeast Center for Photography; Rogue Valley Art Center, Oregon, and Viewpoint Photographic Art Center, Sacramento.  His work is available through Duncan Miller gallery in Los Angeles and is shown on their YourDailyPhotograph mailing list and web site.
