It was fitting, especially given how synonymous the work of Lights on Studio, and holidays have become on FH, that it was Christmas, that was our first connector. I had long been a fan of model Hansel Wellington, and featured his work with JGH Photography back in 2013. (Reflection Deception)
Hansel and I remained in touch, and were having discussions, about ideas for a follow-up. Those discussions ended I saw a Christmas themed shot of Hansel on Model Mayhem. Hansel was on board with the theme, and shared that the photographer was Tom Nakielski. I immediately got in touch with Tom and Cocks & Candy Canes marked Lights on Studio's FH debut on Christmas Day of 2015.
A creative collaboration was born. Since that Christmas, Tom's work has been a part of every FH Christmas since. Christmas, and almost every other holiday of the year. Tom's commitment to creating original holiday has included 'borrowing' bunnies, baby chicks, a 'ground hog', and if you read my piece from this last November, even a turkey! (Tom Turkey) Although I've enjoyed also featuring a variety of Tom's non-holiday work, I get excited each time I see Tom's holiday shots in my in-box. I had been planing to put together a 'Quarternate' piece on LOS for awhile now, but this week seemed the perfect week to give Tom a shout out. A nasty fall ended with Tom landing up in the hospital, and I wanted to wish him a speedy recovery! Get Well Soon Tom!!!
