Adding A Touch of Magic to the Everyday

Gents Cafe, a blog that I follow kindly requested an interview as part of their community talks series. Here it is…

Meet Anthony Waldron. Born in Birmingham, England, and now living in New York, he’s a TV producer and writer with a background in magic.

What are your main passions and how do you cultivate them?

Photography is one of my greatest loves. While I’ll occasionally snap a moment with my phone (the best camera is the one you have, after all), my heart belongs to film. I shoot on a 1950s Leica M3 and a Rolleiflex from the same era. And for sentimental reasons, I still reach for my dad’s old 35mm Zenit; it feels like he’s there with me when I do. There’s something that attracts me about the process; the patience, the craftsmanship, the tangible nature of it all.

I also have a lifelong fascination with sleight of hand; something I’m sure we’ll dive into later. In recent years, I’ve found myself painting and sketching, and I find joy crafting meals in the kitchen. If I’m creating, I’m content.
