 An Exclusive Interview With Tom Munro

Kirsten Dunst. Vanity Fair. 2018

His story exemplifies determination and inspires young photographers from all over the globe. After shooting for the world's most prestigious brands and having seen his work on magazines covers and on Times Square's billboards, he took his skills and knowledge to the next level by directing music videos with Madonna, a successful collaboration that made a mark in the whole film, fashion, and music industry and led to further films including commercials for Giorgio Armani's Si' fragrance starring Cate Blanchett, Dolce and Gabbana' Wild about Fall,' Tom Ford' Lips and Boys.

Naomi Campbell. Vogue. 2013

More recently, during a lockdown, Tom shot & directed Breitling's launch of their first female-only Spotlight Squad campaign, 'Chronomat.' Directed over the internet from London on three separate occasions in three different time zones, Charlize Theron in Los Angeles, Misty Ponte in New York, and Yao Chen in Beijing. Not a small challenge, given the three women, were later brought together in the edit room to appear as if they were in the same studio, on the same set, at the same time.

Giorgio Armani's 'Prive' fragrance campaign with Jackson Yee was also directed & shot over the internet, with Tom in London and Jackson Yee in China.
