V. Tony Hauser is recognized as one of Canada’s leading portrait photographers. Over his forty year career he has honed his craft as a specialist in black and white printing. He chooses to work in black and white for both its aesthetic qualities and permanence. Hauser's images are predominantly silver prints, but he also offers the hand-coated platinum portrait to clients who want a truly unique and timeless heirloom.
His photographs are included in permanent collections of the National Archives of Canada, the Stratford Festival, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography and numerous private collections around the world.
His reputation for excellence has garnered his acceptance into the fine art world. He has several bodies of work, including nudes, travel, dance, and indigenous peoples. Most of his fine art work is in platinum - the most permanent and luminous of the photographic processes. Working with antique large-format cameras has provided Hauser with ever-changing challenges, helping to keep his work and enthusiasm fresh.
He is the author of five books. Stage Presence is a collection of 74 black & white portraits of stage artists who posed for Hauser’s large format camera, and are captured onto a now extinct Polaroid film. The Power of Passion, another of Mr. Hauser’s publications it is a soft cover portrait book of inspirational Canadians. Facing Artists, throughout the first decades of his career he photographed some of the most celebrated and influential people in the arts, both in Canada and abroad. Los Lacandones is a book of photographs accompanied by poetry by Alejandro Palavecino, documenting the indigenous people of Chiapas, Mexico. Hans and Ingeborg is a storybook for adults about the complexity of relationships.
His work has been exhibited internationally in such venues as: The National Arts Centre, Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, The Banff School of Fine Arts, The University of California, The Brooks Institute of Photography, The Art Gallery at Canada House in London, England, The Hamburg State Opera in Germany, the National Museum of Culture in Quito, Ecuador, just to name a few.
