Christine:What is your most utilized Photoshop tool?
Anthony:The Healing Brush tool. I use the Healing Brush tool the most because that is my “go-to” tool for removing blemishes, scars, acne, unwanted hairs and wrinkles – allowing the client to look 10, 20 or even 30 years younger depending on their preference, while providing a nice and clean, polished look after editing.
Christine:Whose work do you admire, and who has influenced you the most?
Anthony:When I first started photography, Joey Wright was and still is a huge influence. The way he captures the beauty of each girl is unparalleled by other swim photographers. Joel Grimes is another photographer who I really admire – for both his artistic and lighting approach. Both photographers are great, and I would love to meet them in person if the opportunity ever presented itself.
Christine:Is there anything in particular that you wish you knew when you first started taking photos?
Anthony:I wish I would have known more about marketing and business management, contracts, licenses, and things of that nature.
Christine:Do you have a favorite style or type of photography? If so, why?
Anthony:I do. I love street photography, because you are capturing raw moments and freezing them in time forever. That sort of thing is priceless, the good, the bad, and even the ugly. Street photography is as raw and intimate as one can be, when it comes to photography.
