About

My name is Tony Aragon and I am a landscape photographer born and raised in Tucson, AZ. I am primarily self taught, with the exception of minimal online guidance and tips from fellow photographers. I started taking pictures in 2012, solely using my cell phone to capture my views on hiking trips. In late 2013 I made an anonymous Instagram account by the name of “neatpicsitake" to get unbiased feedback on my pictures and determine whether or not this was something I was good at doing. The first and last name on my account simply read “ Some Guy”, and I didn’t tell anyone I knew about it. After about half a year or so, I had established several hundred followers and decided to link my name to “neatpicsitake” by sharing it with friends and family. For Christmas in 2014 I was gifted my first camera, a Canon Rebel T5. I had no idea how to use an actual camera and started my journey through a lot of trial and error to learn as much as I could on my own. Since then, I have upgraded my camera and put in a lot of time, work, and effort in improving my skills, as my passion continues to grow.

Over the last few years, my photos have been featured multiple times by photography accounts,  won prizes in contests including Tucson Electric Power’s monsoon photo contest in 2017, Ridgemont Outfitters photo of the year contest in 2015, and I finished in the top 10 fan favorites for The Weather Channel’s 2018 photo contest. I was contracted by HaveFunDoGood to travel and document their National Parks Tour in the summer of 2016 and most recently have installed a collection of my work, for sale in Tucson’s Hotel McCoy. 

 My goal is to continue to improve my skill set, make a living from my work, and to inspire others, while I fulfill my dream. 

Thank you for being a part of this.
