Whatthomassays Media was started in April 2019. I started my interest in photography after my blog site started getting increased exposure. After multiple requests to do photo shoots I decided to transform from a blog site and open a photography business. After getting more comfortable with photography, I launched the videography aspect of the business in may 2021. Since then my photos and videos have been all over the world, online, and on tv.
