MVP Partner Tom Mason returns to his first love - scouting - after 20 years 'kicked upstairs' to production coordination.

Eight years later, Tom founded Mason Productions, providing scouting and logistics for a growing roster of preeminent photographers. In 1995, Producer Emily Vickers joined Tom to form Mason Vickers Productions.
