Andrew Tonn's Exhibit at the MAC

The Andrew Tonn and Robert Studzinski Exhibit will begin on June 5 and will go until August 17. The exhibit will show the daily life of Hispanics and their heritage.

Andrew Tonn is a photographer, filmmaker, and writer from Columbus, Ohio, but resides in Washington D.C. with his wife Kristina and son Henry. He earned his Masters in Writing from Miami of Ohio and pursued a career in writing for newspapers in Ohio and taking photos for newspapers as well. He is also passionate about being a leader for The Boy Scouts of America. He has visited Scandinavia, Europe, and South America while working as a freelance artist. Tonn spent most of his time in Latin America where he worked with many different humanitarian relief agencies and documented the lives of the people and the landscape through photographs and film. His work has been published in several places, such as National Geographic Press and National Public Radio. Tonn is currently working on multiple long-term documentaries in Honduras, Guatemala, and San Salvador. Tonn’s message is to show different cultures through his photographs and documentaries.

Robert Studzinski is an award-winning photographer that captures the human experience up close and personal.  American Photo magazine has chosen his photography twice as a winner in photojournalism. He has taken his displays to Europe, Japan, and Mexico.  His photo shoots took place in amazingly beautiful locations such as Trinidad and Tobago, Poland, and Brazil.  He is a war veteran of 30 years and has since been a parole officer on the streets of Columbus.  His current projects are documenting endangered people of the Himalayas, Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Mesoamerica.

 The exhibit is beautifully done with images of the Hispanic culture in both black and white and also in color. I highly recommend this exhibit as an insight to the Hispanic heritage. Below is a link to a video made by Tonn that will give you insight on his work.
