"The images captured by this soft spoken photographer (Tom Ruddeforth)resonate with the very essence of Cape Cod. And as such, they speak for themselves”.

Quote from Cape Cod Life Magazine, Aug., 1999 “Arts By The Sea” issue

Tom Ruddeforth began photographing in the late 1960’s after receiving a camera as a gift. He immediately took to the medium and pursued it as a hobbyist for several years. Tom’s professional photography career began in 1987 when he and his wife, Debra, opened the Ruddeforth Gallery at 3753 Main St., Brewster. Since then he has concentrated on photographing the Cape Cod landscape in color and black and white.

Tom’s photographs have been published in regional and national publications, and his prints are in private and corporate collections world-wide. He has donated works to many local charities, including the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Cape and Islands, Art of Charity, the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History and Lower Cape Outreach.

Tom’s photographs are shown at Ruddeforth Gallery, 3753 Main St., Brewster, MA and Chatham Art Gallery, 464 Main St., Chatham, MA.
