Who is Tono Stano?

Tono Stano is an art photographer living and working in Prague, Czech Republic.

Tono Stano attended the secondary school of applied arts in Bratislava in 1975-79, and then, from 1980-86, the FAMU in Prague. Still during their studies, he and his fellow students at FAMU developed a new style of staged photography, full of expressive movements and metaphor, partly influenced by performance art. Tono Stano is mainly known for his black-and-white photographs of the female body. Several of his photographs have been used for the cover of photography books. The picture "Sense", e.g., appeared on the cover of the landmark photography book "The Body" by William A. Ewing.
