Artist Statement

Exploring to me not only means seeing what is around the next corner but also includes observing the rhythms of a location to find the image. With this collection, I wanted to share my love of exploration through images taken in and around various cities. I wanted to convey an appreciation of natural and human-made beauty while capturing each image. For each panel, I focused on a location or theme to bring you along with me in seeing what is around the corner.

John is a Seattle-area photographer who was inspired by his uncle and cousin to make images to document family events and everyday happenings. In high school, he was introduced to the processes for creating photos in the darkroom and was trained to see the attention and care each image can be given. This is where he grew to love photography as a means of personal expression and storytelling. John is primarily interested on photographing landscapes, cityscapes, and still life yet also enjoys capturing events and portraits from time to time. He frequently has a camera in hand, ready to capture images of his family to document their lives and enjoys applying his artistic view to create images.
