Anthony Schiliro
Travel Photographer
Anthony Schiliro is a travel photographer who captures the soul of each place he visits through his own lens shaped by philosophy, books, and cinema.
Travel Photography
Anthony Schiliro brings a thoughtful eye to his travel photography. His images go beyond landscapes. He captures daily life, urban textures, quiet corners, and moments of reflection. Whether in the streets of Paris or a hidden beach in Brazil, his camera focuses on authenticity.
He prefers natural light and candid moments over staged shots. His photography style is inspired by the moodiness of film noir and the realism found in humanist photography. His travel photography often includes portraits of locals, architectural details, and the overlooked beauty of ordinary scenes.
From the bustling markets of Vietnam to the coastal cliffs of Sicily, Anthony’s photographs aim to preserve the feeling of a place, not just the look.

Every destination has deepened his worldview. His passion for world travel is tied closely to his love of learning—each trip is an opportunity to discover new philosophies, stories, and aesthetics.
Philosophy
Anthony is deeply interested in philosophy and frequently weaves its ideas into his work. He reads widely, from ancient thinkers like Marcus Aurelius and Boethius to existentialists like Albert Camus and Søren Kierkegaard.
For Anthony, travel and philosophy go hand in hand. Every country he visits is full of meaning, contradictions, and questions worth exploring.
He’s drawn to questions about meaning, fate, identity, and time, and often reflects on these themes in his journals and photo captions.
Avid Reader
An avid reader, Anthony carries at least one book with him wherever he travels. He reads across genres but is most drawn to philosophy, literary fiction, horror, and science fiction. Some of his favorite authors include:
- Kurt Vonnegut
- Brett Easton Ellis
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
- Sylvia Plath
- Leo Tolstoy
- George Orwell
- Franz Kafka
- Herman Melville
- Edgar Allan Poe
- E.E. Cummings
Books influence the way he frames his photography and the places he chooses to visit.
Film & Movie Enthusiast
Anthony Schiliro is a lifelong fan of movies and film. He’s fascinated by the power of visual storytelling and the directors who shape it. He often references movie aesthetics in his photo compositions. Whether it’s a symmetrical frame inspired by Kubrick or moody lighting reminiscent of Lynch, his photos nod to his favorite films.
Fitness
Staying active is part of Anthony’s daily routine, no matter where he is in the world. Fitness helps him stay grounded and focused while traveling.
His favorite activities include:
- Indoor cycling
- Free weights
- Rowing
- Climbing
He believes physical movement complements mental clarity and is just as essential to his travels as his passport and camera.
