About Trenity Thomas
Trenity Thomas is a self-taught photographer who has also experimented with painting and sketching since grade school. His paintings, referenced from his photography, have become a signature of his style. As a photographer, he has worked in a myriad of genres including fashion, lifestyle, editorial, conceptual, sports, portraiture, and nightlife photography. He has also worked as a photojournalist for The Cut and LA Times. Trenity uses his camera to capture the life and composition of still life around him. His photographs have a warmth to them that pulls the viewer into the scene as if they were present—a feature that has become characteristic of his photographic style. Trenity has been in various juried exhibitions, including Jonathan Ferrara Gallery’s 24th Annual No Dead Artists International Juried Exhibition and the Louisiana Contemporary juried exhibition presented by The Helis Foundation at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.

I draw inspiration from movies and Southern culture. Recurrent themes in my work come from photos I’ve captured on my camera and memories from when I was a child.”
