Bio Pictures

 

I have always been fascinated with the art of painting with light - to capture and record a unique slice of space and time that may otherwise be lost forever. A fleeting moment perhaps only witnessed by an individual, yet shared with everyone & imbued with a unique perspective.

I have few contacts whose photostream i look at every time something new is posted, one exception being Anthony's. I have spent hours looking through his photos, my favourites being his Hong Kong and Australia sets. His long exposure work is up there with the best and his shots of Hong Kong, for me, capture the magic of Hong Kong. Anthony genuinely appreciates your comments and always responds to any you leave him, be it a "thanks" or some light hearted banter! Keep up the good work mate!

He is the Master of Nightshots. Great inspiring pictures with perfect compositions and colours. He knows also his way around in other parts of photography. Besides the technical part Anthony is also a very kind dude.

It's always great to have fine works as example for what to aspire for. You'll find some of the finest works in VJ Spectra's stream. As someone who's been raised on digital, I'm very tempted to try film just from seeing what this man does with it.
