PHOTOGRAPHY
Tony Briggs’ body of work over the last twenty years represents a collision of iconic imagery that epitomises how underground youth culture has now become the mainstream. You won’t find a photographer with more range and experience, he's the genuine article in a world teeming with impostors.
Aesthetica Magazine
A Tony Briggs shoot is far more fun than it should be. He creates an atmosphere around him that puts everyone simultaneously at their ease and ready to do their very best for him. He’s one of the good ones.
Stephen Fry
That is the best photo I've seen in my life.

Rarely have I worked with someone who cares so much about the end result. His professionalism and talent are matched only by his unflappable attitude and sense of fun.
Brendan Wilkins, Creative Director.
Tony Briggs is possibly one of the best photographers of the past few decades. Very probably the best British one anyway. Definitely the best one from Sunderland.
Sam Delaney
Nothing is more fun than a shoot with Tony Briggs. Everyone is at ease. The models, the crew, and most importantly our clients. And you can feel that in his incredible shots. Naturalness, authenticity and enjoyment shine through.
Richard Megson, CD The Red Brick Road
There is an ease in which Tony Briggs pulls together influences from past decades, with a charm that allows a modern audience to appreciate our rich photographic heritage'

Tony Briggs is, without exception, the finest photographer I have ever showered naked with. He is a credit to men o'the north
Dom Joly
I love you for the photos, bad to rasclat.
Steve Cradock
Tony is one of the best around, without any fuss or posing he captured the true essence of the band> he’s a shining light, a true artist.
Damon Minchella
Photo sessions can often be stressful and trying, but not with Tony Briggs. He managed to coax a natural smile out of me, which was quite an achievement. He is a photographer dedicated to relaxing his subject. (His offer of hand relief was not, in the end, necessary).

Mr Briggs is damn good at his job and great fun to be with
John Lloyd
I’ve commissioned Tony for lots of photo shoots, often working with subjects who aren’t natural performers on camera and where we’ve had to work around TV commercials. But however tough the circumstances, Tony never fails to capture something special from his subjects, whether that’s finding the humour or the humanity in them
