Thomas Fallon Photographer

This guy is a complete scam and a total a – hole, do not bid on his packages provided at silent auctions!

This guy is a scam. I purchased a Groupon for some framing and then called to make a reservation to only to be sent to voicemail each time I called without so much as a ring. Since I live in the area, I went to the address listed on the Groupon deal only to find an empty room without any sign of this business even existing. The lobby directory of the building in which he supposedly operates makes no mention of his business at all. I only wish I had read the Unilocal reviews before mine to know to avoid this scammer.

Very similar experience. «Won» (as in paid a lot of money for) a portrait session at a charity auction. Portrait session last about 20 minutes in the rain after 1 year, $ 495 for a 12 inch photo. Charities be aware of this scam.

Finally talked to the infamous Thomas Fallon and received the $ 495 blurry black/​white sunflower print with cheesy computer-​generated border. Better yet, I swooned when I saw the Thomas Fallon signature in gorgeous silver ink. I must admit, my life is now complete with the addition of this one-​of-​a-​kind, priceless jewel! What a racket this crook runs!

Our experience with Thomas Fallon photography was exceptional. We were able to choose from multiple beautiful images and virtually «place them» in our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better or more professional experience. We will definitely be using Thomas again, for portraits or fine art. Highly recommend!

Thomas Fallon is one of the most accomplished photographers I have met. In addition to the many awards he has racked up, he takes classes all over the US with the top teachers of the craft. He is now represented in his own gallery in Portland, Maine. I was fortunate to have been invited to his opening last Friday where Thomas has on display many of his large format prints in various techniques, all of which show a masterful composition as well as a perfect printing technique by his partner Lynn Lenox. Some of the images are stunning in their beauty. One infrared image of a summer scene in Scarborough Marsh looked like a winter scene after an ice storm. The juxtaposition of the actual image and the resemblance to the exact opposite season captivated my attention and forced me to engage the scene in a way a realistic rendering would not have done. Although there are a myriad of special techniques like printing on aluminum and special effects like faux painting, what held my interest were the intensity of focus on inherent detail whether in a close up of a 62 Cadillac fin or the baroque effect of a receding perspective on a path through tree lined gardens. Thomas is an itinerant photographer who travels all over North America making portrait sessions with clients. While traveling it seems he is always on the lookout for a stunning image, whether a sunrise at the Grand Canyon or fishing boats at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia or even a car junkyard in rural Georgia. Thomas uses the images as a springboard for his virtuosity as a master composer and has at his disposal the impeccable printing technique of his partner Lynn. In short I hesitate to compare his black and white images to Ansell Adams for fear of being on the wrong end of the comparison because, (I predict) as the photography world comes to realize the genius of Thomas Fallon, people will be comparing Ansell Adams to Thomas Fallon and not the other way around!

Very similar experience. «Won» (as in paid a lot of money for) a portrait session at a charity auction. We bought it bc we were recently engaged and thought it would be a nice engagement photo. Turns out… he won’t be in LA for 6 months. So we schedule for tomorrow. Just received a very unceremonious email that he needed to cancel due to an emergency.
Wrote him a very nice email explaining that we were disappointed but hoped everything was ok with his family and friends.
«It couldn’t be avoided» was his response.
Wrote him a note back asking him to refrain from «donating to charity» as a way to drum up business for himself.
I would ask anyone reading this to if they see this item at an auction, bring it to the auction committee and tell them to get rid of it from the table.

We won a session with Mr. Fallon at an auction in Los Angeles in March 2011. Despite numerous attempts to schedule a session with him during his visits to the west coast we have been unable to schedule the session.
Despite «registering» the gift certificate he would not email/​notify me when he would be in the area and wanted me to check his online schedule and notify him when the schedule was posted. It was posted so I sent him an email and a followup email and have not gotten any response which has been typical in having to send multiple emails in order to get any type of response. He also doesn’t reply to phone messages.
This has been very frustrating and disappointing.

My experience with Thomas Fallon as a «professional» photographer was quite disappointing.
Here’s Thomas Fallon’s response to my first email telling him that I wasn’t happy with his work:
«I believe we have gone above and beyond on service for you on this. Custom work is not refundable. You saw a preview of this on a thirty inch monitor.»
Here’s what I then wrote Thomas Fallon:
Hi Thomas, I received the two redo portraits. I’m satisfied with the
portrait of my four kids. The other portrait with me in it, I’m still
very disappointed in. There is heavy shadowing on my daughter
(sitting down), son (sitting down) and my eye orbit areas.
Unfortuately, I don’t believe this problem can be fixed digitally. My
sister is an amature photographer and she feels a reflector was
needed. So, what I’m asking is for is a full refund of $ 200.00 for
that one portrait. I hope you understand my disappointment. I’m
working the rest of the week, so I will send it back on Sat. AM to
you. Thanks. (my name)
It’s been almost two weeks, and still no response from Thomas Fallon.
