Diane: Rochester, New York 1978

……….This picture of Diane was taken in our apartment, while I was studying photography in the Master of Fine Arts program at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1978. This was a very playful time for me, as I was experimenting with various way’s to create interesting pictures. As you can see, I was already interested in the nude as subject matter and Diane, my girlfriend at the time, was always a willing participant in these visual explorations. I will send a signed copy of my latest book entitled Wasteland, to anyone that can figure out how this picture was created. Send your comments to my email address at tony@tonyward.com. Good Luck!

On Location Ibiza

……….As soon as my producer Suzaan Talib spotted her on the beach, I knew that she would approach the dark skinned brazilian beauty. Suzy never minced words when scouting for models. She just has a way with people that is very forthright, honest and convincing.

Suzy wandered over to where Cindy was set up on the beach, just yards away from our location. Within minutes she returned to introduce us, a lovely woman from South America who was visiting Ibiza on holiday.

She Modeled Like A Pro

The next day I arranged to take photos of Cindy at Bambuddha Grove, a lovely restaurant and lounge just outside the center of town.

South American Beauty

She was quite the exhibitionist, very quickly removing her clothes and accesssories one article at a time.

Two Beauties Scene 1

…….Hannah brought along Heidi to the shoot knowing she would enjoy being out of the city for a few hours on a blistering hot day. Heidi enjoyed the mood and the atmosphere so much, that she decided to be included in a few of the pictures Hannah and I produced.

Gina Climbing Stairs

…….I went back to the same location again just a few days later with another model. Gina wasn’t recommended by my friend Nick this time. Another photographer suggested a student that he knew from one of the area’s colleges.

She was curious about the location and wandered around the property comfortably in the nude……

Gina Relaxing On Steps

The pool was especially appealing to her……

Gina Floating

She struck a classic pose by the large clay pot. I realized instantly it would be a memorable shot as it was a location that I had utilized successfully in previous pictures over the years….

Portrait of Erica

……….It seemed for a while that every time Nick called the studio he had another beautiful friend that wanted me to take their picture. The shoot with Dez turned out fine, thanks to Nick. So when he called to make arrangements for me to meet Erica, I immediately asked him to bring her over to the studio for a look see. I was not at all disappointed with the introduction. Erica and I connected immediately, and we agreed to a portrait sitting at a friends house on a sunny summer afternoon.

She was fashion model thin with long legs, a shapely bottom and a very alluring facial structure with beautiful full lips.

Alluring Face

She was very comfortable with her body and enjoyed being photographed in the nude.
