Anthony Ong is an Australian photographer, who lives and works in the hinterland of Byron Bay, New South Wales Australia.

With a unique eye for beauty in all its forms, he explores texture, light, form and movement in his work. He loves to work both with and against the elements.

His career has covered the fashion and advertising industries, as well as a series of publishing houses, with his work featuring in publications from Penguin books, Random house, and Murdoch books.

His clients include National Geographic, Expedia Travel, Vanuatu Tourism, ELLE magazine, Madison magazine, Hyundai, Telstra, ING, Visa Card and ANZ Bank.

Growing up between Sydney and the Southern Highlands in NSW, has inspired his love of working with the local landscape.

Anthony currently works on the land as a restoration project manager and landscaper. His connection to the Australian landscape, its people, its history and stories, is evident in his quietly captivating images, which are timeless and gently powerful.

In his latest Abstraction series, Anthony explores the play of light and movement and the use of Australian and Islander landscapes.

Anthony finds inspiration in travel on the wide open roads of his home continent, wild free and full of the unexpected.

“ I have a lifelong love of nature and natural people, places and things. I enjoy the contrast in the elements on this land that is my home. I find inspiration in gentle beauty, or even in harsh, arid or otherwise unappealing environments. I am deeply curious. “

“From an early age, I loved to play with my Dads camera.

The camera felt like a portal that connected me to really see and feel who and what I was observing.

The lens in between allowed a silence and an intimacy that I felt very comfortable to sit on the other side of.

I feel completely  at home behind my camera.“
