Here are some examples of Tony's work which has been commissioned by jewellers, sculptors, ceramicists, and two dimensional artists, mainly from Brighton and Hove. Initially working in macro/close-up photography of flowers his speciality in the studio is, naturally enough, three dimensional objects and very small things. To this end, Tony has attracted a number of jewellers, goldsmiths, and silversmiths as clients. He has perfected the art of photographing jewellery placed on highly reflective surfaces which often gives the impression of two pieces rather than just the one. No 'Photoshop' trickery has been used.

New clients are always welcomed and most of Tony's clients return regularly for images to be used for catalogues, websites, posters and other publicity.

Tony is a professional photographer and has been awarded the Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society, which is the Society's Highest Distinction. Work has recently being shown at the London Salon of Photography and other International Exhibitions.

Following on from a brief meeting to clarify what is required, making suggestions if needed, he will photograph the work, retouching and editing the resulting images if required.

He can come to your premises/studios or, ideally, he will borrow your work for a short time to photograph in his studio under ideal conditions, in Hove, near Brighton on the Sussex Coast.

He is happy to photograph all types of artwork, including jewellery, sculpture, ceramics, drawings and paintings, and has all of the necessary professional equipment and lighting.

For an average session photographing, say, twenty different
three dimensional pieces the client will be provided with up to 300 images using a variety of backgrounds and/or arrangements

Clients will be provided with a CD/DVD of their images, free of any photographer’s copyright for most purposes, (which means the artists can use the images for web use, magazines and posters without applying for extra permissions as many photographers just specify usage for one purpose), as well as a DVD slideshow/ Audio-Visual presentation, and contact sheets of the works photographed. Prints - all produced in the studio to ensure consistency - can, of course, also be made to order using archival inks and papers in all sizes up to poster-sized A1 or even larger and canvases can be made of any size to order, as can duplicate DVDs/pdf slideshows for your own marketing.

Clients include Sussex artists: Ruth Bridges, RokChix/Christine Morgan, Annie Ferguson, Campoli & Nelson and Sue Fenwick (Jewellery), Tessa Wolfe Murray and Karen Barron (Ceramics), Alain Guy and Deryk Parkin (Sculpture), John Beetham and Holly Caulfield (Drawings and Paintings), and others.

His prices are competitive and very reasonable, bearing in mind the quality of service that is offered, and the time given exclusively to your project. Depending on the size of the job prices are always negotiable!
