I received my first camera as a gift when I was 7 and I have never looked back. The field has completely transformed since I was running around popping Kodak 126 film cartridges into my Instamatic, but my love for photography hasn’t changed a bit.

After graduating from college, I purchased my first professional 35mm equipment and became more serious about the craft. I began my freelance career in Connecticut in the early 90s and was a photojournalist for several years before moving to Ithaca with my family and establishing Thomas Hoebbel Photography.

In 2008, I added video production to my business offerings and began creating marketing and promotional pieces for businesses and organizations. Most of my video projects thus far have been short promotional pieces that are intended to give the viewer an accurate understanding of, and a personal connection to, a service, product, or organization.
