Tom Hussey (photographer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Hussey is an American photographer specializing in commercial advertising and lifestyle photography.
Hussey graduated from Southern Methodist University in 1987, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production with a minor in Photography. He carried out postgraduate work at the acclaimed School of Photographic Arts & Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology and earned his Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography and Museum Practices, with an emphasis in Photographic Conservation.
Photographer Tom Hussey’s Reflections series is an emotional one, tying together the prime years of the elderly subjects’ past to their present lives. It is a beautiful yet melancholic take on the conceptual reality of natural life. The series, a winner at the 2010 Communication Arts Photography Annual, was used for Novartist’s marketing campaign for the Exelon Patch, a therapy patch used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.
Putting the campaign and medication aside, however, the composition of Hussey’s photographs is equally moving and impressive. He captures moments of the elderly models completing their daily, mundane tasks while their past reflection, as attractive young men and women, stare back at them through the mirror, reminding them of the fruitful and successful lives they once had ahead of them.
Hussey’s photographs, which can be viewed in this album, are the kind of emotion-evoking photographs that quickly captivate an audience and in turn, allow the telling of powerful stories.

The project featured on this post is called “Reflections” and was created for a new Novartis drug called the Exelon Patch.
The drug in question is a prescription medicine for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s dementia.
The highly conceptual photographs shows an older person looking at the reflection of their younger self.
The man is looking at himself in the hallway mirror. I see the reflection through the hallway mirror. He's holding a paper in his left hand. His back is by the door. He's looking in the mirror reflecting.
