About the Photographer

Tom Kennon has been an outdoor enthusiast and photographer for more than 30 years. An avid whitewater canoeist, his love of the natural world has been shaped by the rivers and streams of Tennessee, Arkansas and Colorado. He is actively involved with the Arkansas Canoe Club where he works to protect rivers and introduce people to whitewater boating. He is the author of A Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to the Ozarks.

Tom is a self-taught photographer who turned a hobby into a passion. After attending several digital photography classes by Arkansas' premier photographer Tim Ernst, he was inspired to take his hobby to the next level. Whether capturing the essence of moving water or the delicacy of a single flower, attention to detail brings nature’s intimacy to life in Tom’s images.

Tom lives in Ft. Smith, AR with his wife, Jennifer, and their dogs Baxter and Bentley. He spends as much time as possible exploring the rivers and trails of the Ozarks. He also travels frequently to Colorado to canoe, raft, hike, ski and photograph the Rocky Mountains.
