Colorful, loud, a little shrill, but also with a little wink-wink nudge-nudge—can you fit all of that into one picture? Yes, if Tony Kelly is the one behind the camera! The Irish fashion and fine art photographer manages to imbue his pictures with that special something extra. Whether it is a fashion shoot for Vanity Fair or erotic photos for Playboy, Kelly creates images that are both sensuous and ironic, and always entertaining. So it is no surprise that his photo book is called Taken! Entertaining Nudes. A burst of colour, a lick of gloss and a touch of irony―welcome to the sun-drenched, palm tree-lined world of Tony Kelly. The Irish fine art and fashion photographerʼs work explodes with an individuality that commands attention. Renowned for his vibrant, sensuous, and quirky images, Taken! showcases Tony Kelly’s best work to date―in it, you hitch a ride on his adrenalin-fuelled journey of nudes, pools, and a double irony on the rocks. Kelly is a master of his craft; each image has a cinematic quality that draws you in and provokes a reaction. He invites you to peel back the veneer and contemplate the subtext of his immaculately polished images. When you are done, you will feel something―humour, shock, or simply a smile on your face. Go ahead and see for yourself.
