Tony Ward began his professional career in 1980. His photographic work and research during the past 25 years has been rooted in exploring the visual cross sections of fashion and erotic photography by capturing the impact the sexual revolution of the 1960’s had on advertising and in particular magazine publishing.  His photography challenges the lines drawn between Art and Obscenity by questioning social mores, and the evolution of photographic imagery often viewed as inappropriate in some and acceptable in others. He’s  particularly interested in further examining the first amendment right to freedom of expression in the U.S. constitution and the impact censorship has had on the evolution of photography’s history in America.

Tony Ward, a former lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania is currently a visiting instructor of Fine Arts at Haverford College, Haverford, Pennsylvania.
