Thomas "Tom" Foster was a human photographer and member of the Bloomsbury Bunch.
Biography
Early life
Tom was born into a wealthy family in the 19th century and wanted to become an artist. Due to his sexuality, he was ostracised by his relatives and, in need of money, became a watchman at a factory. He found Stonn attempting to re-energise himself using one of the factory's dynamos and assisted him, having faced things that he considered to be worse than a hungry Sontaran.
Grateful, Stonn looked after Tom and got him out of the factory, entering into a romantic relationship and meeting Vella, Stonn's associate and the third of their group, which would later be termed the Bloomsbury Bunch. Tom and Stonn started the photography firm Foster & Stonn in Bloomsbury as business partners. After Stonn went on holiday to Cardiff, he gifted Tom with a Malampus crystal which he suggested that they use in a camera to fake ghostly apparitions and capitalise on the craze of spritualism.
Whilst Tom was initially against this ruse, the camera seemed to take legitimate ghost photographs, actually showing up personality imprints. These became wildly popular and Tom began to get business from the best of society and the respect that Stonn believed that he deserved. (AUDIO: A Photograph to Remember)
