On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I’m joined by Tom Minty, a British-born, New Jersey–based photographer who is passionate about capturing the candid, everyday moments that define what it means to be human.
Tom’s photography celebrates the unstaged and authentic, from small moments on the street to scenes within communities. His work emphasizes the raw, real connections that reveal the essence of humanity beyond the surface.
For Tom, photography is more than an art form, it’s a tool for intimacy and understanding. He believes the relationship between the photographer, subject, and viewer has the power to shrink cultural, racial, and socioeconomic divides. In a world where isolation is more common than connection, the camera becomes a bridge, uniting people through shared truth and genuine human experience.
In this episode, we explore:
Tom’s journey as a street and community photographer
Why authentic, unstaged photography is so powerful
How photography builds intimacy and connection between people
The role of art in breaking down cultural and social divides
Why capturing the everyday helps us rediscover our shared humanity
This conversation with Tom Minty is a reminder that the simple act of seeing and being seen, can help us build bridges and find common ground in today’s world.
