Tony Menias

Motivated by curiosity and forever fascinated by what this world has to offer, Tony’s love of capturing life around him started the day his father handed him his first camera at age seven. From medical school, to missions all across the globe for the impoverished, his photography was always a guiding light in finding love and beauty in the simplest things. Witnessing the purity of the souls he treated, those who could laugh and fearlessly move forward even in awful conditions, motivated a life-change where Tony left medicine to pursue his craft. Within his first year as a full-time photographer, Tony was published in National Geographic, held multiple exhibitions, and won an Award for Excellence from the Conception Global Art Collective. From then on, it became clear: photography wasn’t just a hobby, it was a true calling.
