Who is Phillip Anthony

Born in Glendale, California, Phillip Anthony moved with his family to Idaho Falls, Idaho at an early age. His development was subtle, starting with drawing and sketching as a he grew up. He was drawn to traditional black and white photography and the process of working in a dark room. After moving to Florida to be a film director, he was pulled towards cinematography, focusing on composition and lighting.

Influenced by his past love for sketching and black and white photography, Phillip Anthony wanted that classical traditional look for one of his seascapes. Frustrated with the slow speed of a tiny pencil, he decided to use brushes with black and white paint. He loved the results and never expected the response to his work. Black and white oil paintings were different. Phillip Anthony was achieving a new level of detail and value, but the concept of Monochromatic Reflectionism was just about to unfold.
