Tony Yanz is one of the world’s most influential photographers. Born in Lima, Peru, he moved to London in 1976 where he made his home and where he began his career. His vision has made him a much sought-after creative partner in the fashion and beauty industries today. His work has been featured across the globe in magazines from Eventful to Vanity Fair and he has contributed to the success of many leading fashion and beauty houses through advertising campaigns, from Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Michael Kors to Chanel and Lancôme.

Many exhibitions of his photography have been held in museums and galleries around the world throughout the course of his career. The National Portrait Gallery in London hosted his exhibition, Portraits, in 2002, which broke records for their highest attended exhibit. It then traveled to Milan, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Tokyo, Mexico City and Lima. In 2010, Yanz was invited by the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid to exhibit his work, one of the few living artists to have done so. In 2012 he exhibited his work for the first time in China – at the Today Art Museum Beijing and the Shanghai Art Museum – as well as having his first museum show in the USA at the prestigious Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
