BIO
Details
John’s love of photography started at a young age while watching his older brother, Peter, study old 35mm and medium format film photography while he was studying in the mid-1990s. John started shooting images as a keen enthusiast around 1998 documenting the skate and hardcore punk and metal scene which he was part of. He quickly realised that photography was more than just a hobby; a combination of positive feedback, encouragement from professional photographers and a passion for not just taking photographs, but the theory and technical skills behind the photographic process, reinforced his belief that photography would be a major part of his life.
A keen lover of music, poetry, hiking and conservation; he translates these influences in to his landscape and fine art work. Understanding nature’s balance between chaos, order, and human interaction are the threads that underpins his landscape work and he has travelled across the UK and Europe working on various projects through the years. Taking inspiration from photographic pioneers such as Charlie Waite, Joe Cornish and Andreas Gursky; John aims to evoke emotions, thought and appreciation of the world around us through his landscape and fine art images
