[Un]Discovers: Antonio Gomes

In case you still do not have a clue about what's going on, we are going to be co-hosting a fashion photography exhibit from March 12-18 with Sleeping Giant Gallery and now is a sneak peek for you to know some of the photographers. In today's feature, we have Antoni Gomes. I have to say, his own description has definitely made us believe he is an extremely fun person to hang out with.


"Artist. Tourist in this adventure. Rather burn up on re-entry than wonder what its like for the rest of my life. Thoughts and ideas; inhibitions and fears. Just run with it, that's me.


Very hard to write about myself. If you really need more, than I can spend more time on it, but I really dont know how to define me. I do basically what I want every day. Learning and doing. From the outside I look like an bad ass in a way, I ride motorcycles, smoke, dance with men (moshing!), spend time in nature and have been training in fighting since I was 6 (even though Ive never really fought anyone :D, this year I plan on entering a real fight, but it appears to be illegal in Ontario so Native Reserve or Quebec!) On the flip side, I love yoga, tight fitting jeans that fit oh so well, multi course meals, chilling with music, reading books, going for walks..list goes on. Lover, not a fighter. Acceptare of what is, believer in what can be. Belief in ones self over any other powers. God save the queen, we need each other. I plan on living on a boat and sailing around the world :P"


So Antoni, who are your inspirations?
Marc Baptiste, Bob Carlos Clarke and Guy Bourdin.

What is your ultimate goal for your photographer career?
Photography is exploration to me. Having an end goal limits the possibilities and adventure.

If you can pick any celebrities or models in the world to do a shoot, who will you pick and what kind of shoot do you want to do?
Yeah Yeah Yeahs in Louisiana with 4 kinds of Jello.

Now we are sure you must be very excited to meet him in person. Make sure you come drop by Sleeping Giant Gallery on March 12 (opening night) to meet and greet Antoni and other photographers. Photos are courtesy of Antoni Gomes.
