drake', she recalls. 'That same year I also won my first ribbons at a local art show.'

With over 15 years experience in the Retail Photography Industry I worked in all aspects of
the business. Starting out as a part time photographer and appointment setter for a fashion
portrait studio in San Diego, California, while earning a degree in photography. I quickly
Manager for a prestigious Los Angeles Studio. I left the fashion photography industry to
accept a photography and sales position in a high end portrait studio in La Jolla, California.
After building more than 15 studios, and holding various executive positions including
District Sales Manager, and Chief Operating Officer, I felt it was time to open Pro Photo
Studios.

Pro Photo Studios was opened in 2005 by my wife Karina and myself. We had a contract to
recruit, train, and manage photographers for a large Nationwide Photography Company.
After a couple of years running Pro Photo Studios I felt I needed to get back to what I truly
loved, the photography! Anthony Jones Photography was born! I have recreated the
business to focus on my art work instead of retail portraits.

In 2007 I published my first book 'Images of the Wild Frontier'. This is a collection of images I
took in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. In 2008 I published my second book 'The Fingerprints of God'.
This book is a collection of my nature and wildlife images. I am currently working on two
more books.

My goal is to deliver quality photo products of my images with outstanding customer service.
