TONY BOWEN

Detroit-born and Los Angeles-based photographer Tony Bowen has spent more than 15 years creating polished beauty, fashion, celebrity and commercial imagery. His passion for photography began at age 12, when he picked up his grandmother’s camera and discovered a way to translate the people, style and culture around him into lasting images.

After studying photography at the Art Institute of Michigan, Tony moved to Los Angeles in 2017 to pursue his career. His work combines refined lighting, intentional composition and an editorial point of view, creating portraits that feel modern, confident and emotionally present.

Tony has photographed and collaborated with leading artists including Brandy, Monica, Kelly Rowland, Lizzo, Muni Long, Coco Jones and Fantasia, as well as actors Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Shannon Thornton, Janelle James, Elise Neal and Ryan Destiny. Whether working on a beauty campaign, fashion editorial or celebrity portrait, he brings the same thoughtful direction and attention to detail to every production.
