A pure South African photography genius...

Tony Christie is a Durban based fashion,commercial and advertising photographer. He is a close friend of mine and I would recommend his work over pretty much everyone else. For Tony, photography isn't just a job - it's a passion. With his own design flairs,
individuality and incredible talent for capturing the perfect picture. He has an un-heard of eye and sees the beauty in things nobody else would.

I had the pleasure of spending a Saturday with him and I realised that there's so much more to photography than just clicking a button on the camera.

(Tony's thoughts on the upcoming Wonderbra shoot that Tony is doing...) "When it comes to advertising photography, its not just about making the garment the centre of the photo, you have to make it look amazing in just a normal setting.(on fashion photography...) "Vintage and retro photography is really in these days. It makes it look like the photo was taken decades ago - which makes it precious and almost sentimental. Some of these effects you can't get by using a digital camera. To get and old-school photo, you've got to do it the old-school way." (But if the don't have the time, money or expertise to do it the proper way - you can always try turning up the "colour temperature" on your computer at home.)

Take a look at some of Tony's amazing work - and see for yourself what makes him a cut above the rest...
