LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. In this week’s episode, Dave interviews Nature Photographer Tony Sweet. After 20 years as a professional jazz artist, Tony changed careers and directed his creative juices towards nature photography.
Tony’s work is published on a host of items and his fine art prints are exhibited in private and corporate collections throughout the United States. He is represented by The Getty Picture Agency and his images have been used by Nikon, NikSoftware, Singh Ray, Microtek, and others for national ad campaigns.
In this episode, Tony talks about the transition from musician to photographer, the hardest thing he had to learn during that transition, how he creates his abstract images, what he recommends that you do to stand out in these tough economic times and much more. We created a special video of Tony’s images with his explanation of each that plays (above) and then the full podcast interview, which is below.
