“Gayton quite deliberately presents not only iconographic characters from the history of art and mythology, but plays with the form of appearance of photography itself. Irony and a love of detail add to the appeal of these images. Furthermore an increased interest in the fantastic and narrative is evident. For Gayton, photography offers the opportunity to dream the dream of eternal youth, beauty and desire.” Peter Weiermair
“A master in the mise-en-scène manipulation, he accomplishes any aesthetic, typological or stylistic results he wishes..” Natasha Christia
“Gayton’s…work is interesting from a number of different points of view. It is an example of the way in which photography is now challenging, and even regularly surpassing, more traditional media as a vehicle for serious moral and psychological messages.” Edward Lucie-Smith

FASHION OR ART…and did it ever matter? MY BRIEF LIFE AS PHOTOGRAPHER
Anthony Gayton was born in Devon, England in 1968. He studied photography at Harrow (University of Westminster) and Farnham College of Art. In 1993 he moved to Vienna, Austria, where he became assistant, then studio manager, to acclaimed Austrian photographer Andreas H. Bitesnich. They worked together until 2019.
From the late 1990s until 2012 Gayton also worked on various personal photographic projects, always shooting on film and often manipulating the images in the darkroom and/or Photoshop. The earliest productions were ‘homage’ fashion shoots, inspired by various sources such as Willhelm von Gloedon, Jean Genet, 1950s US Beefcake, Caravaggio, and vintage snapshots. Much of this early work was bound as ‘Sinners & Saints’, published in 2005 by te Neues.
From 2005, with the backing of MiTO Gallery in Barcelona, Gayton began creating more original and ambitious projects, incorporating storytelling and poetry into his work. Much of this work has been exhibited and reproduced in various books and magazines (and of course features on this website), but the three volumes entitled ‘Touch Me’ remain unpublished.
Anthony Gayton retired from photography in 2012.
