About Tom Zimberoff

Tom Zimberoff is a classically-trained clarinetist who studied music at the University of Southern California before pivoting to photojournalism. Traveling the world, he’s shot many magazine covers and covered hundreds of historical and breaking news stories. His career literally took off when he stowed away aboard a helicopter carrying the military dictator of Panamá. With no time to think about the possibility of being invited to exit the aircraft before it landed, he was hoping for exclusive photos of the camera-shy ruler. It turned out to be his entrée to more than two decades of shooting for TIME magazine. Later, he shot advertising campaigns for Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. Navy, and Hollywood movie studios.
