Tommy Cissel (b. 1998, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a New York–based photographer and director specializing in portraiture and editorial imagery. His work focuses on capturing emotion, presence, and color in a way that feels immediate and personal.
At the core of Tommy’s approach is connection. Guided by his belief that “I’ve never had a bad photoshoot when the subject is having a good time,” he creates an environment where people feel relaxed and fully themselves. The result is imagery that feels lived-in — as though you’ve spent time with the subject beyond the frame.
His clients and collaborators include AFC Wimbledon, Rowing Blazers, Mt. Joy, Daniel Pemberton, Wallice, BluBlocker, Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream, and Bowery Football Club, among others.
Based in New York City and available for commissions worldwide.
