    SEATTLE, WA, April 20, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Anthony P. Bolante has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

A talented and award-winning multimedia photojournalist, Mr. Bolante has garnered acclaim for his work as the staff photographer of the Puget Sound Business Journal in Seattle since 2011. In his capacity as a senior photojournalist, he is responsible for illustrating the top three stories each day and mentors younger photographers across other American City Business Journal (ACBJ) markets. Furthermore, as the founder and owner of the Image Arsenal LLC, which is also based in Seattle, Mr. Bolante leads the organization as a multimedia visual journalist, providing various photography services to clients, including still photography, videography and sound, multimedia presentations, GoPro rigging, and photo archiving.

In accounting for his success, Mr. Bolante credits his 30+ years of experience in the industry. During this time, he has drawn notice in the fields of editorial photography, sports photojournalism, and adventure documentation. Leading a parallel career in the U.S. Army for more than three decades, Mr. Bolante served as an officer and multimedia photojournalist for over three decades, accruing global experience on assignment before retiring as a Colonel with the Washington Army National Guard in 2017.

Adjacent to his current fieldwork, Mr. Bolante has served as a Federal Aviation Administration commercial and instrument rated rotary-wing helicopter pilot since 1990. With respect to his volunteer work, he has also been involved as a mentor photographer for at-risk youth in both Honolulu and Bellevue, Washington. To remain aware of developments in his field, Mr. Bolante maintains his affiliation with the Society of Professional Journalists, the Asian American Journalists Association, and the National Press Photographers Association. He is also a lifetime member of the Army Aviation Association of America and was last president of the Mount Rainier chapter of the association.

An alumnus of the New Mexico Military Institute, Mr. Bolante received an Associate of Arts in liberal arts in 1987. That same year, he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Hawaii Army National Guard. Mr. Bolante later completed a Bachelor of Arts with the assistance of a Rappolt Journalism Scholarship at the University of Hawaii in 1991 and a Master of Military Arts and Sciences at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in 2005.

Attributing much of his success and work ethic to his upbringing as a Filipino American, Mr. Bolante came of age with the desire to contribute on behalf of his country. Born in Hawaii as a first-generation American alongside his brother and cousins, his parents and extended family emigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines in the decades after the Japanese occupation in World War II.

Honored with his first award in 1989, Mr. Bolante received a Hawaii Newspaper Agency Award of Excellence in News Photography. He also won a Kilohana Award for Excellence in Photojournalism from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin in 1993, the Kenneth P.
