After 20 years as a professional jazz artist, TONY SWEET changed careers, directing his creative juices toward nature photography. The improvisational, spontaneous, and abstract nature of jazz is also an integral element of nature photography. Tony's work is published on calendars, postcards, posters, annual reports, greeting cards, catalogs, and electronic media. His fine art prints are exhibited in private and corporate collections throughout the United States, and his images appear in many national ad campaigns. He has authored three books on photography: Fine Art Nature Photography (2002), Fine Art Flower Photography (2005), and Fine Art Nature Photography: Water, Ice, Fog (2007). Tony maintains an active speaking schedule throughout the US and Canada, addressing professional photography organizations, universities, seminars, and teaching workshops, and is an instructor on betterphoto.com. Tony was honored as a Nikon Legend Behind the Lens in 2006, member of Team Nik (NikSoftware) in 2007, and a Lensbaby Guru in 2008.
