About the Author
John is a photographer of long standing, schooled in the use of film but converted to digital in the late nineties. A discerning Black Country photographer, John sees digital imaging as a tool rather than a box of tricks, a photographer whose images are linked by a natural instinct for subject arrangement and attention to detail.
John describes this approach to photography as spontaneous - seeking to recapture for the viewer the same mood and atmosphere that drew him to the subject in the first place.
John is the founder member of DAPA Group (2002) and the Infrared Photographic Society (2008).
In January 2008, having successfully gained membership for DAPA Group to join the Midland Counties Photographic Federation (MCPF), which is affiliated to the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB), John rekindled his passion for exhibition photography with enthusiasm and drive.
In July, 2009 John was awarded his third British Photographic Exhibition (BPE) Crown Award, having gained 17 awards and more than one hundred acceptances in UK National Exhibitions.
John also enjoys repeated success in many of the International Exhibitions and was awarded his Artist distinction with International Federation of Photographic Art (AFIAP) in March, 2010.
