Moving Photography of Anthony Kurtz, a Street Photographer

Anthony Kurtz is involved in the photojournalism and fine arts areas of photography, with themes that really stand out in his work. He has won several awards, including the “International Photo Awards” as well as the global “Prix de Photgraphie de Paris” competition.

Here is a further excerpt from his portfolio: “One hour into his first Psychology class, Anthony Kurtz walked out of the sciences forever and into the arts. Quitting his long-time home of Geneva, Switzerland for San Francisco, Anthony began attending the Academy of Art University in 2001, studying New Media and Graphic Design. In the Fall of 2002, he attended a mandatory liberal-arts class: Intro to Photography. Without any further education in the field, he continued to learn on his spare time while simultaneously pursuing his degree in New Media. In March 2003, he acquired his first SLR camera and documented the anti-war protests that shut down the City of San Francisco following the invasion of Iraq.”

You can find his work on his website or on his Behance Portfolio.
