Anthony Nex Paints with Cosmetics

Posted on

Photographer Anthony Nex keeps a sketchbook  full of ideas, but it was the shelter-in-place order brought on by the spread of Covid 19 that gave him the time to create many of the images you see here. “That time,” he says, “along with the freedom to experiment with lighting and execution, has been the big silver lining to this year.”
The results? He’s been able to use these images to convince existing clients to take a bit more creative risk than they are used to, as they are able to use the portfolio images to get sign off on new comps. It’s brought in a few new clients wanting similar work, too.  Despite the three months of downtime, 2020 might just be his best year in a decade, and more importantly, he says, “The level of work I’m being hired for now is much more gratifying.”
And if there is another lock down? His wife is a stylist (who worked on all these images), and his son is a cinematographer, so they’re prepared to work right through it.
