Tony Mott is an award winning Music Photographer based in Sydney Australia. Since the early 1980’s, over 30,000 photographs have been published, the result of some 2,500 sessions and countless live shows. From this archive, 400 posters and 450 CD or vinyl covers made, over 800 magazine front covers have shown his work, and he is still counting. What do you love about your photographic genre?“I’ve always felt music is an important medium, it can be a sanctuary when things are not so rosy, and a celebration of the joys of life, the two extremes of emotion.” Why did he change his name from Moulds to Mott? “Well, when I first got a photo credit Moulds didn’t look so groovy so I had to come up with an alternative. I looked to the most influential band in my life, Mott the Hoople.”
