Quinn Santone is focused on slowing down the speed of life. With a studious and attentive approach, his work is a call to action (or, rather, a call for in-action) - Stop and look at these things. Pay attention, not only because they're beautiful, unique, or humorous. Study them because time is precious. - he is…sentimental.

An aesthetic mixture of the velvet soft and the realistically gritty, Santone's body of work is one of contrasts. Shadow-focused. Appreciative of classic black and white, and alternative color relationships.

Photography makes him feel liberated, free to be whimsical and expressive. He is inspired by the spontaneity of Dadaism, the subversive nature of the macabre, and the peace of modern formalism. When he isn't taking pictures, he is reading a good book, making a collage, painting, drawing, or fleshing out a new writing project. Quinn Santone loves the ups and downs of life - everything deserves a good, honest try, and a moment of introspection.
