Tony Kearney

Tony is an analogue photographer who exhibits regularly and who has recently been concentrating on medium and large format portrait photography.

His work is in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery Canberra, has hung in the National Portrait Gallery London and has been selected as a finalist of numerous national and international portrait prizes.

With portraiture, he loves to experiment with vintage cameras, processes and materials, play with natural light and engage with his collaborators.

More of Tony’s work can be seen at his other photography website, www.atomicartcompany.com, where you can view some of the work from his previous exhibitions, more examples of his portrait work, some events he’s had the privilege of covering, images of the Port where he lives and also get a small insight into his collections.

He’s also in the process of building another website featuring just his analogue photography, www.tonykearneyphotography.com, it’s still a work in progress but please feel free to visit.
