TOM MUNRO [2b]
MADONNA FOR L'UOMO VOGUE
In the early 1990’s, Tom moved from London to New York to study at the prestigious Parsons School of Design. Whilst still working as an assistant in New York in 1996, Franca Sozzani of Vogue Italia took Tom under her wing, with covers and editorials for Italian Glamour, and later for L'Uomo Vogue and Vogue Italia.

His artistic practice is underlined by a strong signature style... 'My pictures seek to expose the shadow and vulnerability that exists in all of us – and it is this vulnerability that I find so beautiful. [...] I grew up with injustice all around me, Apartheid was in everyone's bones. The pictures that I took then and into my early 20s, although unaccomplished, have the same sense of quiet and unease that is a part of my practice today.'
