ABOUT
Tony Nelson is a professional photographer who specializes in portraiture and documentary style photography. Although music, especially the world of Rock & Roll, continues to be his favorite subject matter (and personal obsession), he enjoys photographing all kinds of People, Places & Things--from baseball players, politicians and chefs to investment bankers, still life, food, models and his next-door neighbors' kids.

He lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with his wife (Lisa) and their two cats (T-Bone and Willie).
