"When I see Anthony's photography, I'm often reminded that he is also a painter and designer. He has an eye for composition and color, and his portraits have such range... from playful and soft to gritty or stark.His approach to our magazine subjects is a true documentarian's. He spends an incredible amount of time with the subjects, interviewing them at length. In the end, his images manage to capture a women in her element, telling as much about her as the accompanying story."

:: VERVE Magazine ::"It's difficult to explain how magic happens, but that's what I've witnessed on assignments with Anthony and his camera. Anthony sees with a compassionate eye, and he sees more than just what's in front of him. And with the expert use of light and shadow, shutter and lens, he manages to communicate his understanding of the subject.I look at Anthony's photos and I see heart. I see soul. That's the work a true artist."
