Tony Mobley – 

Washington, D.C.

The passion to create and document timeless images is what drives and motivates Tony Mobley. Born and raised in Washington, D.C. Tony’s first photo of memory was that of his younger sister Patricia in front of their family home at the tender age of 9 years old. That picture still graces the wall in their parents’ home to this day. As fate would have it he developed a passion for the art of photography so much that one of his most treasured gifts was a 35mm Minolta film camera gifted from his parents for his high school graduation present.

As a self taught photographer, Tony would take pictures with his film camera capturing family events, friends and his travels while serving in the U.S. Navy. The love of photography and the desire to create has remained a constant as Tony has a remarkable ability to capture and captivate those same expressions, moments and personalities within his photographs. Tony’s previous work includes covering corporate events, portrait sessions and concert photography. His recent focus has been on protest and documentary photography with his work being featured in AT&T, B.E.T.’s (Black Entertainment Network) Content for Change, PSA, Buzzfeed, The Undefeated/ESPN, Vice News, Vogue and Weedmaps, Fighters for Change, PSA. His goals and aspirations are to one day work creatively with brand development and to continue to document stories through social justice reform and activism. He was formerly a resident “house” photographer at the historic Howard Theatre located in Washington D.C.
