We have had him and his team photograph each of our projects and we will continue to use him for all our upcoming projects as well. The attention to detail and the amount of time he spends on each space truly results in the perfect shot. **★★★★★ — Kriste Michelini Interiors, Jan. 2017** > Thomas is excellent! He is a joy to work with and pays attention to all the details with a calm demeanour. I particularly like how he assists in getting the shot just right with everything perfect. He is very responsive, professional and most importantly, he is a kind man. It has been a pleasure working with Thomas and his team and I always look forward to working with him! **★★★★★ — 3 Lights Design, Jan. 2017** > Thomas and his team are fantastic to work with.

Beyond being the ultimate professional, he reads his clients, listens, and delivers imagery that reflects the unique spirit and essence of each space. Thomas and his team are a joy to work with, bringing a creative, calm, refreshing vibe to each photo shoot experience. There is no unexpected stress or site condition that flusters Thomas. He manages all personalities, scenarios and details with finesse and grace. Five stars!!! **★★★★★ — JL Interior Design, LLC, Jan. 2017** > Thomas has done an amazing job photographing multiple projects for us. He has a keen eye for detail and style. I especially appreciate his handle on technology - he brings his computer with him so we can see how the shots are materializing and changes can be made on the spot. The shoots may take a little longer than others but the result is worth the time. He captures even small spaces really well, showing them without a 'fish eye' look. Working in the Bay Area and our smaller homes, that is a major bonus. Thomas is professional, courteous and conscientious of timelines - he has a really prompt turnaround time and is always respectful. **★★★★★ — Design Theory Interiors, LLC, Jan. 2017** > Being relatively new to the bay area, I was searching for a photographer for my interior design projects when I came across Thomas Kuoh's Houzz profile. His work was so beautiful that I knew I had to work with him. He is both highly professional and very comfortable, guiding me through the process with such ease. He has an amazing eye for styling and expertly captured the personality of each space with wide angle shots, vignettes and details. The project he shot was later awarded a Design Excellence Award by ASID and I attribute much of that honor to his talent in telling the story. I feel like I found a real gem and look forward to working with him on upcoming projects. **★★★★★ — Niche Interiors, Jan. 2017** > Our interior design firm has been working with Thomas for years to photograph our residential projects. He is a pleasure to work with, bringing a flexible, creative, and client-focused approach to every shoot. He also works well under pressure and helps us get as many shots as possible in a limited time. We are thrilled with the quality of the photos his team creates and look forward to many more collaborations! ## Selected projects - [Modern Meets Victorian](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-meets-victorian-pj-vj~6453103) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 20 - Description: Originally developed by Australian architects for their son, this house marries a traditional San Francisco Victorian with a modern addition on the back. The house has a clear split down the middle and the design challenge was how to blend the two.
