About
People fascinate me. The amazing thing to me about headshot & portraiture photography is that you can learn a lot about somebody, just by taking a look at a photograph of their face. Being responsible for bringing out your true personality in your headshot is a big honor for me. It's in these headshots & portraits that people who don't know you, will make assumptions on your character. People who do know you will look at the photograph, maybe today, maybe in 50 years, and think about the things they love about you. A headshot portrait is a powerful tool that we create together, to help people learn more about you.
I'm a professional headshot & portrait photographer from Liverpool, England. I moved to the States in 2011 and fell in love with the place
I've been lucky enough to have spent the time since I moved here traveling around the country on assignments for different editorial publications worldwide. photographing people, doing what I love every day
.Honestly, I consider it to be the best job on the planet
My work has been published all over the world. In some of your favorite publications like People Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, Grazia Magazine. And in countries including the UK, Australia, France, Italy, Germany & South Africa
I'm lucky enough to have been trained in Los Angeles by world renowned headshot & portrait photographer Peter Hurley, and fully subscribe to the idea that great technique, proper direction, and genuine expression based on trust, is the key to powerful, professional, portrait photography
It's in LA where I met my beautiful wife, Catherine. She's a Colorado native. When I'm not in the studio or on location, you'll most likely find me off on some adventure with her and our pet Weimaraner dog, Winston. The rest of my family are back home in Liverpool. We're a very close family, so we try to get back there as often as possible to see them
I work with businesses & brands large and small including Chevrolet, Los Angeles Galaxy, Nick Cannon Foundation, Justin Gelband, & House of Fitness, to create their bespoke headshots & portraits for company websites, literature, and press events
I also work with high profile actors, actresses and entertainers to create their commercial and theatrical headshots and portfolios geared towards making the best impression on casting directors and agents
Our relationship doesn't end after the shoot, either. I''ll be on hand if required, for whatever you need afterwards. You'll have my direct telephone number for advice on anything from personal branding to which foods you should try on your upcoming trip to England! (and don't forget your retuning client discount for future shoots!) One of the things I love most about my job is building relationships with clients. These relationships are very important to me and are based on trust and a mutual respect
So there you have it, a little about me. I look forward to getting to know you guys too!
Everything! I have the best job in the world. Come and be a part of it!

Tony is amazing! He makes you feel comfortable and his easy going personality helped me relax as I was nervous. His tips and videos sent before hand were excellent on how I could help make the shoot even more successful. I would highly recommend anyone wanting a professional headshot! It was also so fun to sit down afterwards and go though each photo discuss likes and dislikes and leave feeling like I had the best photographer and the best headshots! I would absolutely use him again and look forward to the next time! Thank you Tony!!!

Tony is great to deal with. We have training sessions at our head office for new recruits every month and every month we either send them off to Tony's studio for their headshots, or he comes to our office. I was looking for somebody to build a working relationship with and I was surprised at how unreliable or inconsistent some photographers can be. Tony makes it easy and straightforward every time.

I needed a professional headshot for my realtor business. I'd never hired anybody on thumbtack before and I was glad I found Tony. He was booked up in the days after I contacted him but I let him know I needed the headshot ASAP and he managed to fit me in which I'm really grateful for. At no point did he make me feel like he was rushed though, he walked me through the process step by step and gave me lots of tips to look my best for the photograph. It was a fun shoot. I didn't realize so much work went into a headshot, but I see now what separates the average headshot from a great one. Now I've got a headshot that my colleagues are asking about. I think two have already had their headshots done by him since they saw mine! Hey Tony, I think I'm due a commission on them :)
