Tony Howell was born in Plymoth, Devon, England on January 13, 1960. He took many photos for books, calendars, magazines, Hollywood Movies, billboards, brochures, catalogues, greeting cards, posters, postcards, websites, and national newspapers. His primary type of artwork is Photography, for that he has to a medium format digital camera. The theme of his photos is Landscape. Landscape photos are pictures involving. He says, “I'm in awe of God's Creation, and try to express joy and peace in my images.” When he first bought his camera, he took pictures of the sunsets and sunrises he saw. Then, his friend came up and showed tony a photography magazine. He looked at the images and thought “ I could have done that!” Tony was never trained, he was self-taught. He took ideas from books and magazines. Two black and white photographers named Ansel Adams and Paul Strand have inspired Howell at the start of his career. Tony says many photographers tell him that they are inspired by him, but he says “that's the greatest compliment, but you have to find your own voice **-** don't try and be like someone else.”.

=Artist Statement=

The title of my first picture in the upper left hand corner is called Berries in the blue. I named it this because of the beautiful sky in the background. I used a camera for all of my artwork. My second piece of artwork in the upper right hand corner is called Shining Beauty. I named it this because of the sun shining on the leaves and berries. The picture on the bottom left hand corner is called Flowing Branches because of the way the branches flow out to the right. The last but not least photo on the bottom right hand corner is called Jungle. It’s called jungle because it reminds me of someone walking in the jungle and you can see a lot of trees and vegetation. My inspiration on these photos was art and beauty of nature. Like the way the branches of Jungle look like a mosaic of leaves and bark, and the way the berries and leaves shine in the sunlight. The theme of my pictures would be serene with a twist. Serene usually reminds me of cool colors, and a peaceful setting, my pictures are serene but with a colorful twist. I enjoyed taking photos of nature, it gives a kind of calm feeling.
