Tony DiStefano
All his life, Tony DiStefano has called beautiful places home, from the forests of Western PA to the mountains of southwestern New York State. He’s lived in Harrisonburg, Virginia - an area rich with opportunity for creative souls - for more than half of his adult life.
It was only a matter of time until Tony, an avid hiker and fisherman since childhood, found himself exploring the outdoors with his trusty Nikon at his side. Inspired by his brother’s and uncle’s work in nature and macro photography, Tony began his photographic journey around 2013. A prolific shutterbug, he’s captured and shared hundreds of captivating images, ranging from birds, flowers, and insects to rural landscapes and natural light portraits.
