Anthony Thornton

United States

Born and raised in New Hampshire, my journey in the arts began with music, studying jazz drumming in college. In 2008, I discovered a passion for photography during the presidential election, captivated by the powerful storytelling of photojournalism. This newfound interest led me to Colorado, where I worked as a staff photographer for the Vail Daily, honing my ability to tell compelling visual stories under real-world constraints. The unpredictability of capturing unposed moments is what drew me deeply into photojournalism.

In 2014, I moved to San Francisco and joined the city’s bustling freelance photography scene, struggling initially with the world of posed “lifestyle” photography, which felt unnatural to me. Over time, I found my niche in documentary family photography, an approach that aligns seamlessly with my photojournalistic roots. Today, I offer families an authentic, one-of-a-kind view of their lives, using my storytelling skills and artistic sensibilities to preserve moments as they unfold naturally.
