Photographer Al Tom Sponsoring the Transgender Erotica Awards

LOS ANGELES — Al Tom and his company, Altomic Visuals, announced their first-time sponsorship of the 2016 Transgender Erotica Awards.

“Altomic Visuals is proud to be a sponsor of the 2016 TEA show,” Tom said. “In the last few years we have been one of the lucky people given the privilege of capturing the highlights of the TEA show and After Party. Altomic Visuals is more than happy to support Grooby Productions, an organization that stands behind the LGBTQ community and finds ways to give back to the performers in the trans adult industry through recognition at the TEA show, their Trans Adult Industry Foundation (TAIF), and also through their participation at various LGBTQ events.”

“Al has been a strong supporter of our industry and an integral part of documenting the TEAs each year,” added Kristel Penn, Grooby’s marketing and editorial director. “His photography is beautiful and he really manages to capture the essence of our festivities with a great eye.”

Tom has been photographing trans women since 1989 for straight and trans adult websites. His photos have been displayed in an art gallery show and used in a music CD insert. He is also a contributing photographer/writer to "Transformation" magazine.
