Inicie en el mundo de la fotografía luego de culminar mis estudios de Economía. Sentía la necesidad de crear cosas que desarrollaran la parte artística de mi persona, me atraía la pintura, la escultura y la fotografía. Fue entonces cuando decidí pintar con mi cámara ,ingrese en un curso de fotografía en una escuela de artes de mi país, donde adquirí los conocimientos básicos. Recuerdo en una ocasión el profesor nos asigno como tarea traer un desnudo Artístico para la próxima clase, llame a todos mis conocidos para que me sirvieran de modelo y no conseguí a nadie, no me quedo más remedio que modelar para mi mismo, el resultado gusto mucho, a partir de ese momento las cosas cambiaron, pues los modelos no me han faltado.
Para mi cada persona es un paisaje por descubrir, el reto es capturar sus estados emocionales a través de la imagen, ir mas aya de lo físico , soy un creyente que el elemento sorpresa no existe "El maestro llega cuando el alumno esta preparado" por eso trabajo con elementos que me obsequia la naturaleza en cada sesión, es así que el entorno se convierte en el marco ideal para crear junto con los cuerpos desnudos lo que para mi será luego, una obra de arte, en algunos casos resaltada con la ayuda de efectos digitales que me permiten hacer de cada foto algo distinto en técnica y estilo.
Por lo general la naturaleza me obsequia sus bondades, la luz del maravillosos sol, la lluvia, montañas, ríos, mares y su flora. Por eso estaré eternamente agradecido con la misma y trato a través de la imagen devolverle en algo el favor, tratando de concienciar al que observa mis fotos el porque debemos respetarla y cuidarla para poder conservarla.
Siempre he hecho fotos por amor al arte, me gusta ver lo que hago, ahora quiero compartirlo con el resto de las personas que sienten la pasión por este arte visual enfocado a una de las creaciones mas perfectas de Dios "El Hombre"
Solo me queda agradecer a Dios por todo lo que nos da, a mi familia que es el Dinamo convertido en amor y que me motiva a tratar de ser cada día una mejor persona ,a Ilene Skeen creadora de Barebrush por darle un sentido a lo que hasta ayer solo era mi arte privado y por supuesto a todos aquellos que han creído en mi y me han prestado sus cuerpos para que yo pueda hacer arte con ellos.
Su Amigo por siempre,
Tony Lee

After culminating my studies of Economy I felt the need of growing not only as a professional but artistically too, so I started a journey to find out away of express myself in the world of arts. At the beginning I was attracted to painting, sculpture and some other, but it was through photography that I found a way to communicate without words. With time, I discovered that the subject of a photograph has to be molded by the guidance of the photographer and that you can affect an image by the use of light, angles and so much more. Suddenly I was all I wanted to be from the beginning, a painter and sculptor. a photographer.
Now that I was completely sure of what my call was all about, I decided to join a photography course at the school of arts in my country where I got all the basics knowledge. I remember one time when our teacher requested us to bring an artistic nude picture as assignment for the next class, I call all my relatives and friends to help me as models, no one dared but me, so I made a self-portrait. To my surprise the final results were very well accepted. Since then things have changed a bit as I am not running out of models anymore. To me each person is a landscape to be discovered. The challenge is in capturing emotional states through out an image, to go beyond a physical body. I do not believe in such a thing as surprise elements. "The teacher arrives just when the student is prepared." That is why I take advantage of all elements given to me by God right at the moment of a shooting session – a rock, a waterfall, the rain – anything has been set up by and with the teacher's arrival, all at the exact moment that I am prepared with my camera.
My work consists in conjunction nature and the human naked body together to create what I what I will call an arts piece, some with the use of digital effects that allow me to make something different in technique and style. Nature has always awarded me with the light of a marvelous sun, the rain, mountains, rivers, seas, and its flora for which I'm truly thankful to it. so my way of paying tribute is by trying to develop in each one of us the feeling of love and respect for her. In my pictures all human bodies appears at the most primitive state: pure and naked as God created us, right inside our shelter, our home which is no other than nature so the question is. would you take care of your shelter?. would you respect your home?...
I have always made photos just for the love of art, I love what I do but I have reach a point where loving is not enough now I want to share it with anyone that feel the same passion I feel for this visual art focused on God's creations "man and nature." Finally I want to thank: God—“The Teacher” who always arrives at the right time; My family—My dynamo, source of love that provides me with the energy necessary to become a better human being; Ilene Skeen—For creating BAREBRUSH. to me the bridge that I was looking for to reach people who have the same passion for visual arts as me. And to all who have believed in me, and have given me the opportunity to picture their bodies.
Your friend by always,
Tony Lee
