Hi, I’m Tom Rokita, a fashion and portrait photographer based in Edinburgh and Fife.
One of the biggest highlights of my career so far was photographing a campaign for Livingston Designer Outlet, with the final images displayed across the centre and Edinburgh city as part of a large scale advertising campaign. Seeing my work used on that scale was a proud moment and a reminder of how far photography has taken me.
The journey to that point started more than ten years ago with a camera in my hands and a fascination with people, places, and everyday moments. Back then, I spent countless hours photographing street life in Cardiff, learning how to work with light, tell stories through images, and spot opportunities that others might walk straight past.
Since then, photography has opened doors to some incredible experiences. I’ve worked with brands including Nicolson kiltmakers, La Dama Lingerie, and The Alchemist, and I’ve photographed at London Fashion Week several times, capturing designers, models, and collections in one of the most exciting environments in the fashion industry.
Today, my work focuses on fashion, portraits, lifestyle, and personal branding photography. Whether I’m photographing a fashion campaign, creating content for a business, or working with someone who simply wants great photos of themselves, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel natural, confident, and authentic.
One thing that has never changed is my love for finding the perfect location. The right setting can completely transform a photo, which is why I spend a lot of time exploring and planning before every shoot. Matching the location to the person, brand, or outfit is one of my favourite parts of the creative process.
You’ll usually find me somewhere around Edinburgh, Fife, or wherever the next project takes me, camera in hand and already looking for the next great location.
If you’re interested in working together, I’d love to hear about your ideas.
