Anthony Kurtz
One hour into his first Psychology class at the University of Geneva, Anthony walked out of Science to pursue a career in the Arts in San Francisco. Born in California, raised in Switzerland, Anthony discovered his love for photography while working on his bachelor of fine arts at the Academy of Art University. This marked the beginning of his photographic journey. Anthony specialises in environmental portraiture and creates timeless photographs of people and the spaces they occupy. His cinematic and painterly style seamlessly transitions between documentary and conceptual, capturing the world as it presents itself as well as creating new worlds entirely.
The part of Anthony’s work that I will be focusing on is his environmental portraits, the reason I have chosen his work is because I like the style and composition of his shots. He has the subject in a position and style that they are in day to day, when they are working or going about their business in the environment that they do it in.
I like the style because it is set up to seem like the subjects are unaware of the photographer.
