Tom Kahler

A UK photographer of fourteen years, known for automotive and adventure work — and the eye behind SWI's Isle of Skye images.

The story

Tom Kahler has spent fourteen years making images for global advertising campaigns, most of them automotive: Jaguar Racing, Bentley, Audi, Renault. His own description of the work is that it goes “beyond the vehicle to capture mood, context, and brand story” — which is a fair account of why his pictures of a bicycle do not look like product photography.

He is UK-based and works worldwide, with a background in adventure and outdoor photography alongside the commercial work, and a stated passion for cycling, travel and cars.

His photographs of a SWI on the road in the Isle of Skye are the ones that open the dealer and ambassador pages of this site.
