“In true Tony fashion, his passion for photography grew quietly, profoundly and profusely. From crafting words on a sheet of paper, Tony begun to tell his story with visuals. The same poetic intensity that he used to create award-winning ads is now channeled into each photograph. The subject, the light, the mood, the composition – each element is used with deliberate intent to evoke the wanted response.”
