Artist Statement
Anthony Onwordi is an artist, whose passion derives in cinematography and videography. His goal is to tell unique stories through visual elements that will live throughout generations.
 
I envision myself as a Cinematographer, focusing my talents on videography and photography. I believe that there is always a moment to be captured and there’s always a story to be told. The ability to draw an emotion out from an audience through a screenplay, is something I have been captivated with ever since I first picked up a camera. I believe that creating a story through visual cues is the ultimate form of storytelling. It is the final form of art.

The two images above are a peek into a series titled Emotional Isolation (2021). They reflect my work and passion with light and shadows. It is a representation of being trapped within oneself, through our own struggles with what we value, our emotions and our personal goals.
