Johns involvement with photography has lasted for more than a quarter of a century, although schooled in the use of film John has now embraced the digital age, a discerning Black Country photographer who 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. His approach to photography is spontaneous, seeking to recapture for the viewer the same mood and atmosphere that drew him to the subject in the first place.

As an enthusiastic exhibitor, John has been fortunate in having many of his images accepted into British Photographic Exhibitions. In October, 2010 John was awarded his fourth British Photographic Exhibition Crown Award (BPE4*), having gained more than 200 acceptances in UK National Exhibitions. In December 2010 he was awarded a distinction from the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (DPAGB). John also enjoys repeated success in many of the International exhibitions around the world and was awarded his EFIAP in March, 2011.
