About the artist
Member since 2009-03-15
Aloha and thank you for visiting my voodoochilli web page.
Please take a moment to visit my main site: www.anthonycalleja.com
My name is Anthony and I am a professional photographer and artist based in Honolulu, on the Beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii, where I have lived since 1992.
Although born in San Francisco, I was raised in the small independent country of Malta, an island in the Mediterranean Sea - birthplace of my parents and resting place of my ancestors. It was there I learned to appreciate my rich heritage and develop my understanding of culture.
As a youngster growing up in Malta, I studied Art and in 1971 and at age 11, I received my first camera. I was influenced by the history of the Islands, the flavor of the Maltese people and by being the youngest of 24 siblings. Back then, everything I encountered was an exciting visual experience, which has definitely had a bearing on the direction of my life's journey and the way I photograph today.
As a young man, I returned to the United States and attended San Francisco City College where I majored in photography. In 1980 I photographed my first wedding and have had hundreds of happy customers since then. Photography is not just my job, it is my passion.
