“Tony Briggs is, without exception, the finest photographer I have ever showered naked with.
He is a credit to men o'the north”
Dom Joly

"Tony Briggs takes pictures that look good, that make you look better. I don't normally think that much of cats who 'take pictures' but when mother fuckers are good at it, you gotta tip your hat"
Reginald D. Hunter.

“I’ve commissioned Tony for half a dozen commercial photo shoots, often working with subjects who aren’t natural performers on camera (i.e. footballers) and in circumstances where we’ve had to fit in the shoot between set-ups of a TV commercial. But however tough the circumstances, Tony never fails to capture something special from his subjects, whether that’s finding the humour or the humanity in them. Oh, and did I mention, he’s probably the funniest man on earth. But then, after a lifetime of supporting Sunderland, you’d have to have a sense of humour.”
Neil Cook, Creative Director FEREF

“A constant through Tony's career has been the ease in which he has pulled together influences from past decades, with a British charm that allows a modern audience to appreciate our rich photographic heritage"
Wez Gibbons. SKY.

“Tony could take care of any shot in his sleep and often does; he is a very skilled & versatile individual and has full ISCO 3880 accreditation”
Colin Boyd, Jacob Bailey
