John’s path in photography started early in life when his parents handed him a Kodak Retina camera and appointed him as the family photographer. He studied photography in high school and later completed a four-year apprenticeship with the renowned London, Fleet Street photographer Charles R. Cramp FRPS FMPA ABIPP. His first published image was printed in a local newspaper when he was just sixteen.

During his time in England, John was fortunate enough to be published in nearly every major newspaper and since then he has regularly appeared in prestigious National and International magazines. John has been based in the United States since 1994 and would like to be recognized for his Social Documentary style of photography.

John is a professional member of the National Press Photographers Association. He enjoys giving back to the photographic community and has served the Photographic Society of America in several directorship positions.
