Anthony Altamore was born on a frigid February afternoon in Chicago way back when Bon Jovi was topping the charts. Suffering through a childhood without cable television, he was forced to make his own fun, and quickly turned to sports. When he stopped growing and all the other kids didn't, he quickly turned to the arts. Mr. Altamore moved to the City of Angels at the age of eighteen to pursue writing and filmmaking. After four years of school and two years in Hollywood, he decided to focus full-time on his first love, photography. He adopted the moniker ANTHO because there are less syllables to remember and he thought it would be cool.
