Anthony Stonehouse Guest Photographer

Each month we’ll be profiling a local street photographer from around London. Not all of the photographers will be pure street photographers, but there is something about street photography that we can learn from all of them. This month we’re profiling Anthony Stonehouse, a Design Director who’s worked in Australia, Japan, the UAE and the UK.

From a distance it looked like any other underlayer, but when you picked it up, it didn’t itch. Jeremy suddenly saw potential. By getting the best out of the product, selling hard, hustling and getting the best out of various advisors, Jeremy has managed to grow a multi-million dollar lifestyle and sportswear brand.
