Ikigai

My reason for getting up every morning.

Knowing that I have a career that makes me happy, while bringing joy to the people who receive my photographs.

My passion: photography is something I can lose myself in for hours, completely unaware of time passing.

I am Anthony

What I love most is the sincerity found in simple gestures: a gentle touch, a knowing glance, a quiet smile. These subtle moments often say far more than anything carefully staged.

My approach is intuitive, gentle, and deeply respectful. I’m there by your side, without ever imposing myself. I observe, I listen, I feel. This allows me to create images that are honest, elegant, and true to what you experienced.

Many of the couples I work with tell me they don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera. And yet, before long, they forget I’m even there. Because I don’t ask them to perform — only to be themselves.

My role is to give you a calm, effortless experience, and photographs that bring you back to how this unique day truly felt.

How did I grow up?

I’m originally from Laos.

At home, there was a language barrier between my parents and me. We understood each other, of course, but there were no long debates or endless conversations.

So I learned to observe.

My parents always gave me the freedom to follow my instincts. I would spend hours drawing, watching cartoons, or simply daydreaming in silence from the balcony, looking out at the landscape.

It was a quiet childhood, one in which, without even realizing it, I developed the ability to feel things without always needing to put them into words.

Today, I believe that silence is what shaped the way I see the world.

I photograph the way I observed as a child: gently, quietly, noticing what many people might miss but what everyone can feel.
