fascinated by the process of photography as art

ABOUT JOHN:

I have worked for three decades as a professional freelance photographer and writer, contributing to magazines internationally and shooting for major brands in the adventure sports and travel industries many of whom I worked with regularly for 25 years. I combined this with two decades as picture editor and staff photographer for a winter sports magazine.

While much of my work was in the high mountains it also allowed me the opportunity to travel widely and to shoot personal work expressly for regular exhibitions in Europe. The prospect of creating images of a quality I can exhibit as framed prints is a strong motivational force in my work. I am fascinated by the process of photography as art; the discovery of subject, the technique and choice of equipment required, and the editorial choices made at every stage.

While I love the idea of the single stand-alone image I have also worked on several series including a 30 print macro collection of alpine flowers shot in situ, English garden flowers (during lockdown!), motorcyclist portraits and tree studies.

I recently moved to Healesville and relish the prospect of exploring and photographing around my new home and meeting like minded creatives.
