Phil Pantano

Phil Pantano is a photographer from Buffalo, New York. Being surrounded by massive, industrial manufacturing facilities while growing up in the Rust Belt left an impression on him. A history buff, he now works to capture what's left of those once majestic buildings and create unique works of art for others to enjoy. A Phil Pantano photograph is like a vault being exposed after 50 years of abandonment ready to open its eyes and embrace the world once again.

Starting in film in the 1960s at the age of 12 with his first camera, he now shoots digital, complimented with his creative editing style.

An award-winning photographer, Phil Pantanos work has been sold worldwide and published in some of the finest magazines.
