Tommaso De Monte is an Italian-born photographer and filmmaker whose lifelong passion for cinema has shaped his creative identity. Born and raised in Rome, Tommaso grew up immersed in a city defined by art, history, and film culture, where movies were not just entertainment but a fundamental part of everyday life. From an early age, cinema became his primary language for understanding the world, inspiring his fascination with visual storytelling, atmosphere, and emotion.

At the age of 10, Tommaso moved to London, a transition that broadened his creative perspective and exposed him to a diverse, modern film and media landscape. Blending his Italian cinematic roots with the energy and innovation of London, he began developing a distinctive visual style influenced by both classic European cinema and contemporary filmmaking.

He began his creative career as a photographer, capturing the streets, architecture, and everyday moments of London, using the city as both a subject and a training ground for his cinematic eye. This early work laid the foundation for his visual identity and led to collaborations with music artists, where he expanded into both photography and videography, creating imagery and visuals that emphasized mood, rhythm, and narrative. Through these projects, Tommaso honed his ability to translate sound and emotion into compelling visual storytelling.
