Upfront Pictures is operated by Tony and Robina Summers

Tony has always been involved in photography whether in the form of stills or moving images. He worked at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for 21 years, mostly in senior production and management positions, writing producing and directing. When he left the ABC he independently produced The Book Show which ran on SBS. During this time he continued to work with some very talented people who influenced his approach to both moving and still imagery.

With his partner Robina, (also a photographer) for many years he ran a successful portrait studio in Warrandyte until they decided that their work should take another direction. The challenge of successful portraiture, however, is still a major part of both Tony and Robina's work.

Today Tony and Robina work on producing commercial images in a creative and unique way. They aim to find the best and most imaginative aspect of everything he photographs, for instance capturing landscapes in an arresting and atmospheric way is all about being in the right place at the right time. With their extensive background in production, they are able to deliver work to deadline and more importantly budget.

With the advent of new technology, there is now has the capacity to produce CD’s and DVD’s for clients who wish to deliver their message in a new and exciting way to potential customers. Tony and Robina are working on projects with a mixture of still and moving images that are not only great for marketing and promotion but also stand on their own artistically.
