Tony Duran has photographed a virtual who's who of the Hollywood and fashion set.  Born in Winona, MN and a graduate from University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, Duran has no formal training in photography but relies more on his past study of painting and drawing for his unique ability to capture a sensual side not often revealed in his subjects. From the beginning of his career, Duran has traveled the world building a stellar archive of work, initially settling in Sydney Australia, where he built a long list of editorial and commercial clients. His next stop was a stint in NY before finally settling down in Los Angeles. Since then, Duran has focused on celebrity photography.  

The faces of Hollywood's "A" list that have graced Duran's lens include: Beyonce, Tom Cruise , Brad Pitt, Lindsay Lohan, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, and Scarlett Johansson. A special relationship between Duran and Jennifer Lopez over the years has produced some of the most iconic photography of a single celebrity by one photographer.  Duran's editorial clients include GQ's worldwide, Elle. Vanity Fair, Interview, Rollingstone, Flaunt, Citizen K, Kurv, Esquire and Arena.

Duran's timeless graphic style has impressed both the celebrity and fashion world, transcending into what he calls high-end portraiture. Duran says,"I treat each subject with the same approach, be it models or actors, or a person off the street. People just want to look more beautiful and sexy than they did when they walked in the door.  It is all a fantasy. A fantasy that I am more than willing to provide!"

Duran is in the process of publishing his first monograph to be released in 2009-2010.
