- Anthony Tyley's formative years in the 1940's were dominated by seeing wartime photographs of the family taken by his father and "Photograms of the Year" annuals. In his teens in 1950's West London, he photographed the school sports teams and the school play. The career breakthrough came just a few years later, when Anthony was recruited to BBC Television at the age of 20: he is seen left in 1963 during his BBC Technical Operations course at Evesham, Worcestershire.
- Over the next 25 years from 1963 to 1988, Anthony Tyley progressed from Studio Cameraman to Film Editor, and finally Studio Director of Arts programmes for BBC - 2.
- From 1990 to 1994 Anthony studied Fine Art Painting full time at the City & Guilds of London Art School. After moving to Cambridge, he specialized in portraits in oils and pencil: www.cambridgeportraits.com. His current successes in private art tuition rely heavily on the traditional teachings at the City & Guilds Art School. www.cambridgeportraits.com/private art tuition
- Over the last five years, Anthony has increasingly found photography to be a more satisfactory medium than painting for personal work. Alongside new digital photography, he is currently reassessing negatives and slides from his 50 year archive and scanning selected photographs, some never seen before. A common thread is people, whether contemporary portraits, or the photographs taken in London in the 1960's and 70's. A new gallery, "Narrative", explores everyday dramas taking place in people's lives, captured objectively, at a distance, very often without the subject's knowledge: "We steal, but in order to give": Henri Cartier - Bresson. This approach contrasts with the essentially collaborative act of formal portraiture, though the boundary is sometimes blurred.
