Photography Open Call Life Through the Seasons Juror Anthony Graziano

Long Island Photo Gallery is honored to have Anthony Graziano as the juror for Life Through the Seasons. A celebrated fine art photographer, author, and educator, Anthony resides on the East End of Long Island and has dedicated more than 30 years to capturing the beauty of nature through his lens.

His photographs are renowned for their vibrant color palettes, masterful layering, and poetic use of light, all of which combine to create images that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant.

With accolades including an artist residency from the Andy Warhol Foundation and solo exhibitions such as Nature’s Places and Faces at The Center for Conservation gallery, Anthony’s work has been exhibited in esteemed venues including the Southampton Cultural Center, FotoFoto Gallery, The Islip Art Museum, and Long Island Photo Gallery.
