If you have read my previous posts you will notice a recurring theme: Inspiration.
The subject of this post is someone that I am not only lucky enough to call my friend, but he is also a HUGE inspiration to me as a photographer, Del Anthony. He has a great eye for iconic images, and he knows how to make a woman not only feel comfortable in front of his camera, but also look AMAZING!! He was gracious enough to allow me to share some of his portfolio with you all and to answer a few questions for me. Enjoy…
Model: Rosa Acosta / Concept Dedicated to Del's Friend Jeo
What inspired you to pick up the camera and begin your journey as a photographer?
I decided to start Photography as a way of capturing memories. When my Sister died I realized I didn’t have enough photos of her so I bought a camera to as a way to capture memories of Friends and Love Ones.
What inspires you to keep picking it up?
The smile and appreciation I see on a models/clients face when I show them their photos.
Model: Karen Tysin

Describe your favorite kind of model to work with (attitude, ability, etc)
I love working with a model that Fully participates in a shoot. That includes Facial expressions and Posing. During a shoot my Role is to be the Director and the model plays the Actress. I like a model that tries to understand what you are trying to accomplish and fully participate to help deliver on that concept.
Model: IDay
What is the next level you hope to grow your photography/art into?
I want to create more Story board concepts that are a more a collection of Mini Stories rather than just stand alone shots.
