Ingenue
…..Isabella is very good at the playing the role of the young ingenue, but underneath the youthfulness there’s a mature sexiness that emanates from her best pictures.
Whether she is wearing sunglasses or nothing at all, she models tastefully and with an air of elegance, taste and style…….
A symbol of erotica…….
The First Sitting
…….The very first sitting with Isabella took place just off Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. I had been searching for an appropriate location for days until I discovered the most exquisite boutique hotel in the area. The next time your in town I highly recommend Rittenhouse 1715.
Rittenhouse 1715
The atmosphere of the hotel got us in to a good mood, making it easier to make sexy pictures.
Believe it or not, I am not only inspired by the model I work with, but also the environment I work in.
I could have shot her there for days. It seemed like days anyway.
Isabella knew just how far to push my imagination and which parts of her beauty to emphasize……
She became even more at ease once all of her clothes were removed…….
To be continued……..
Amanda
…….. The studio was contacted by the creative director for one of the largest gentleman’s clubs in the area, to produce a new regional advertising campaign. Five dancers who worked regularly at the club were hand picked by the CD to model for TW during the production. One of the models was a standout, a fashion thin blond by the name of “Amanda” .

She is a twenty year old natural beauty who just recently entered the adult entertainment industry.

After the production for the club was complete, TW carefully reviewed Amanda’s photographs and realized she would be the perfect model for one of his ongoing book project’s entitled, Fashion/Fetish. He imagined her long slender legs in a pair of black fishnets supported by a five inch heel.
These are the first pictures ever published of Amanda and the first nudes she has ever allowed to be taken. It is our pleasure to introduce this lovely, personable beauty to our readers…..
……..I had just left the studio for a brief walk to have lunch with a new model when I heard a scream from the backseat of a passing taxi. “Tony, Tony, Tony” she said as I noticed a waive from the passing vehicle. I quickly turned, a familiar face for sure, but couldn’t precisely place the context. The taxi came to a stop. A very attractive woman exited the vehicle and proceeded to run towards me as if in slow motion. My heart started to pound as the day suddenly became more exciting and invigorating.
I remembered who she was. Natalie, a stunning brunette that I photographed several years earlier told me it was such a coincidence to see me that day, because she was just talking to her girlfriend about my work and that she wanted to introduce me to her. I said, “sure just call the studio to set up an appointment.” That answer wasn’t good enough for Natalie. She insisted right then and there that I go with her to meet her friend, who was working just down the block from where I was about to have lunch.
We hurried to her friend’s place of employment, a classy restaurant in the heart of town where she worked as a hostess. Natalie insisted once I saw her, I wouldn’t be disappointed. She guaranteed that i surely would want to photograph her, and also mentioned that her friend had a desire to have nude photos taken. We entered the restaurant. I sat at the bar in anticipation to meet the new subject.
When she entered the room, it was almost if all the air had left it. I could already see through the clothes as my imagination transported me to an erotic journey with the woman I just met. I did everything to maintain my cool as I became instantly infatuated.
The new subject explained that she had been talking to Natalie about having erotic pictures taken to present as a gift to her boyfriend. The couple were recently engaged to be married. Because of her employment status, I suggested it would be wise to create a pseudonym for the set of pictures, as I was certain the pictures would be published. Norma Rockwell came to mind, as she reminded me of a character that could easily appear in a perverse version of a Norman Rockwell painting.
Norma In Love
Norma and I made arrangements to meet at a small, charming hotel where the photographic sitting would take place. I asked her to bring a few pieces of lingerie from her wardrobe for the erotic encounter.
As soon as we checked in to our room I asked Norma to put some of her items on the bed. I picked a few things knowing whatever we selected had to accentuate her statuesque body. The shoot progressed innocently at first and then the sexual persona of Norma took over as she began to gently play with her genitals. All for the love of a man she was soon to marry…….TW
Jackie Strain
……..It started off as a rather inauspicious day. I was just finishing up having breakfast with my mother at her home in Elkins Park. At 89 years of age she, can’t get around like she used to, so she has a nurses aide visit her at home to take care of some of her needs a few hours a week. Mother mentioned at breakfast that she was expecting a new aide in just a few minutes, and she wanted me to meet her.
Moments later as I was clearing the breakfast table, there was a knock at the door, enter a young attractive woman dressed in a nurses uniform ready to tend to mother’s needs. This is how I met Jackie Strain. Ms. Strain was aware that I am a photographer and mentioned with discretion that she moonlighted as a model in between her full time nursing job and was particularly interested in my work. Needless to say she didn’t mention any of this to mother.
She contacted the studio to arrange a meeting after work one day to discuss her modeling interests.
Nursing was fine, it paid the bills, but Jackie expressed a yearning for something more exciting in her young life. The thought of nude modeling exhilarated her and would be a way to release her hidden desire to celebrate and exhibit her youthful body.
She expressed immediate interest in working together, which resulted in the creation of a number of memorable pictures…….
TW
……Steffi and TW met over the internet when a friend of hers suggested she have a look at his website at tonyward.com. After perusing the site, she contacted the studio via email, sending along a few pictures of herself taken by a former boyfriend, as well as a few pictures from her work as a fashion model in her native Germany. We were impressed with her stature and unusually long legs.
Standing just over six feet tall, she reminded us of so many German girls that Helmut Newton worked with throughout his career. Steffi kept in touch for several months and eventually made plans to meet up with Tony in Hamburg for a test shoot.
The night before the sitting they got together for an evening on the town. TW was delighted to discover Steffi’s English was quite good, enabling them to enjoy each others company, as that is usually a good sign of a successful sitting and a great set of pictures.
Our producer in Hamburg Suzaan Talib found the perfect setting for the shoot; the oldest bordello in Hamburg which has been in continuous operation since the early 1900s. The madam and owner of the old establishment were gracious enough to give us the run of the place for several hours, while customers were coming and going. To their bemusement we repeatedly had to tell them that Steffi was not there to service them, they wished…….
