Anton Phatianov - photographer and videographer

Anton Phatianov is a London based photographer and videographer specialising in fashion, celebrity, glamour press photography and video production. He is a member of the Royal Photographic Society and the National Union of Journalists.
His career began as a professional model signed up by top agencies. Working with high profile projects -Vodafone, the BBC amongst others, has given Anton a great insight into what top clients demand of photographers/ videographers and/or models/ actors.
Anton has taken swapped sides, taking his skills to the other side of the lens shooting sharp and innovative image compositions. The key to Anton’s success is his recognition that each sitter/object is different with a personality that needs to be encouraged out.

In his work attention to detail is paramount - in Anton’s own words is “detail what makes the difference between a good photograph and a great picture”.

Here is what he has to say about himself!

My photographs are amazing because ... 
They are simple, sharp and straightforward.

I appreciate what critics have to say, and ...
I always listen to what other people have to say, even when there are times they talk rubbish.

The most surprising thing that happened to me was ... 
To photograph Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Last piece of good advice someone gave me was …
Do what you think is right for you.

My greatest achievement so far is ...
Photographing catwalk shows for top fashion designers at London fashion week.  

At night I dream of…  
Working for Vogue magazine.

The photographer who influenced me the most is … 
Josh Cole.

If I weren't talking to you right now I'd be ... 
Retouching images or editing some video footage.

A phrase I use far too often is ... 
It would have been a great picture, shame I don’t have the camera with me.

I wish people would take more notice of... 
That they can’t live without water and air and ...it's all for free.

A common misperception of me is... 
As a photographer I can’t be good in video production.

I am not a politician but ...
I like taking pictures of them.

I'm good at ... 
Breakdancing.

I'm bad at...
Cleaning up my flat.

The ideal night out is... 
Being at a Spanish seaside.

In a nutshell, my philosophy is this:
I will get what I want no matter what.

My message to the world is...
Let’s get fit!
