Exploring Different Perspectives with Tony Hewitt

In Episode 30 Joe welcomes internationally renowned photographer, teacher, speaker and judge Tony Hewitt. With multiple fellowships and countless awards including International Photographer of the Year titles, Tony is highly respected in the industry and regularly sought out for mentoring and coaching.

An experienced wedding, portrait, commercial and fine art photographer, Tony knows the photographer's life inside out. He likes to bring fresh perspective through his work and does so quite literally in his stunning abstract aerial photography. Listen to discover how a life-altering hot air balloon trip sparked a passion that has since led to hundreds of hours of flight capturing the world from breath-taking altitudes, including a trip around the entire coast of Australia.

Tony is driven to present his view of the world, seeing photography very much as a means of communication. While good preparation is vital, especially when working in extreme environments, behind all of that is our mental readiness. Do we have something to say and can we find our unique voice? Tony is convinced that whatever the genre, photographers can and should use their own perspectives to communicate with the viewer, whether we choose to use the "rules" or break them.
