Photographer/Graphic Designer
Synthesis of elements of balance and proportion

An avid photographer for more than 25 years, John realized early in his photography career that it was the faces of culture he loves most. John has traveled extensively in pursuit of this passion, capturing a wide palette of faces and places. Having ventured into much of western and eastern Europe, and a swath of the Americas, he has experienced and photographed some of the most inspiring places on earth.

In January 2005, John traveled to Thailand to lend a hand with the disaster relief in Phang Nga province. He plans to return in the near future to realize his dream of building playgrounds through Operation Playground for the children there.

John has a profound interest in nature and is an outdoor enthusiast. Over a dozen years as a wildland firefighter, it wasn’t unusual to notice John on the fireline with his Nikon suspended around his neck. His work has been published in Firefighter Magazine, Firehouse, and Wildfire Magazine among others. His clients appreciate his unique style and ability to capture the decisive moment, expression, and emotion of his subject, even when under tremendous pressure.

As a member of the National Press Photographer’s Association (NPPA), John has been involved with photojournalism and pre- and post production in media publications. Published on numerous occasions, his work has been well-received and respected within his professional community. John is also trained and experienced in the graphic arts, commercial printing, and digital media.

Whether it’s a one-on-one session, capturing the special moments of daily life or covering an assignment for a major publishing assignment, John’s experience and personalized attention combine to meet and usually exceed the client’s expectations.
