Ton Schless
USA

Nominee

"Listening"

4x5" hand-coated dry plate


Biography: Ton Schless, MFA Photography student at the Academy of Art University, explores identity, memory, and transformation through fine art self-portraiture and landscapes. His work merges storytelling, experimentation, and tradition, using natural light and texture to reflect time’s fleeting nature. Blending self-portrait, landscape, and documentary, each image becomes both personal diary and universal dialogue. Schless’s practice pushes boundaries of visual expression, forging connections that transcend time and place.
