ABOUT

Tony Hertz is an award-winning photographer with more than 20 years of professional experience. He worked 10 years as a daily newspaper photographer in California and photographed U.S. Presidents, the Queen of England, Pope Paul, celebrities, musicians, famous sports figures and covered major news and community events.

Working as a photojournalist helped refine his compositional instincts when he turned to focus mainly on landscape subjects. His work has been published worldwide in magazines, newspapers, books and postcards. When not out in the field shooting, he's likely editing his photographs from a recent photo trip or teaching photography and the wet traditional darkroom at Cuesta College Fine Arts Department in San Luis Obispo, California.
