Anthony Owens is a photographer and American poet whose work explores presence, memory, and the emotional terrain of both people and place. Currently pursuing his MFA in Photography at the Academy of Art University, Anthony brings a thoughtful, multidisciplinary approach to his practice, one that merges fine-art landscape photography, portraiture, and written word. His visual work often reflects themes found in his poetry: impermanence, intimacy, and the quiet tension between absence and presence.

He earned his BFA in Photography from the Academy of Art University in 2021 and continued to expand his technical and creative range through fieldwork and workshops that shaped his early direction.

As the founder of awowensphotographic, Anthony specializes in personalized portrait sessions, while also working professionally with clients such as AFXCT Enterprises and the Kool April Nights Car Show. His work has been exhibited widely, from Armory Week in New York to Scope Miami Beach and Black Box Gallery in Portland, and has been featured in numerous publications, including Fujilove Magazine, MAC, MARIKA, Beautica, PHOTOHOUSE, DOMINANTE, and LA Modèle.

Whether behind the camera or on the page, Anthony’s work is grounded in a deep commitment to emotional storytelling and visual clarity, always seeking to slow the viewer down and make space for reflection.
