In 2005 he signed up with GettyImages Creative and is now actively working with their London office.
Thomas participated in the November 2010 MediaStorm Storytelling Workshop. He had the following to say about his experience:
I have learned so much from this workshop. I now have a clear vision of what is needed to make a great multimedia production. The importance of teamwork, getting all the right shots from different angles and the importance of good audio. I feel I have an upgraded toolbox, ready to be used!
