Thom: Commercial Projects

The archive of Wayne Thom, a renowned architectural photographer who shot only with natural light, worked without assistant and meticulously printed his own images," came to the University of Southern California Libraries in September 2015."Thom’s stunning photographs of landmark buildings throughout the American West and Asia... include many buildings on the USC campus, including images of von KleinSmid Center, the 1968 USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism building, Heritage Hall, Varian Hall and others."The collection dates from the 1960s through 2012 and in addition to his photographs include his extensive graphic design work such as architectural brochures for clients."Thom, who was born in Shanghai, raised in Hong Kong and migrated to Vancouver before coming to California to study at Brooks, has photographed across the Pacific Rim, as well as throughout the Western United States. He uses a 4×5 Sinar view camera, a distinctive Swiss brand favored by architectural photographers and professionals doing advertising product work. Thom stuck with film until 2003, when he felt that the quality of digital cameras had improved enough for his exacting standards."The Wayne Thom Photography Collection in the USC Digital Library comes initially from the images Thom shot digitally or digitized himself. He provided access to many of these on his Website (https://waynethom.com/). Additional images were digitized by the USC Digital Library from his analog photographs.All quotations are from Allison Engel.

知名建筑摄影师韦恩·汤姆（Wayne Thom）仅使用自然光拍摄，无需助手协助，并亲自进行精细化的暗房冲印作业，其档案于2015年9月入藏南加州大学图书馆（University of Southern California Libraries）。
韦恩·汤姆精美的摄影作品涵盖美国西部与亚洲的标志性建筑，其中包含多件南加州大学校园建筑影像，包括冯·克莱斯米德中心（von KleinSmid Center）、1968年落成的南加州大学安嫩伯格传播与新闻学院大楼、遗产堂（Heritage Hall）、瓦里安堂（Varian Hall）等。
该馆藏的时间跨度为1960年至2012年，除摄影作品外，还包含其为客户创作的大量平面设计作品，如建筑宣传册等。
韦恩·汤姆生于上海，在香港长大，先移居温哥华，后赴加州布鲁克斯摄影学院（Brooks）深造；其拍摄足迹遍布环太平洋地区与美国西部全境。他使用4×5画幅仙娜（Sinar）大画幅相机——这是深受建筑摄影师与广告产品摄影专业人士青睐的瑞士知名品牌。韦恩·汤姆始终坚持使用胶片进行创作，直至2003年，他认为数码相机的成像质量已达到其严苛的创作标准。
南加州大学数字图书馆中的韦恩·汤姆摄影馆藏（Wayne Thom Photography Collection）最初源自韦恩·汤姆的数码摄影作品以及他自行完成数字化处理的影像，他曾在个人官方网站（https://waynethom.com/）上公开过其中大量作品。其余馆藏影像则由南加州大学数字图书馆对其模拟摄影底片进行数字化处理后纳入。
