John stands
solidly by the above, and here is some more info about him . . .
EXPERIENCE
Since 1978 John has delved into the many aspects of photography and is adept at creating something unique from everyday situations. Sometimes this may just mean that an image is
sharp, properly exposed, and well-composed, so it is often about doing the simple things well. Really well.
This is why John is often asked to put on photographic presentations for seminars and Camera
Clubs across the United States.
CREATIVITY
Again, one has to record the simple, well, but when John suggests to a bride and groom that they slip off their shoes to walk around the edge of a lake, he knows that those are the images that are going to make a lasting impression on the couple and their family and friends. He looks at it this way, when the ceremony is over the only two 'items' are remaining . . . the couple
who are of number one importance, and the photographs. Therefore it is a major and privileged responsibility to be called upon to photograph a
wedding or record a treasured product faithfully.
VALUE
Let's face it, we're all 'value-conscious', so choices such 'all inclusive' fees,
'a la carte'
pricing, or all-inclusive quotes in the case of commercial photography are
offered. Above all, combined with sensitive photography, the bottom line is value for
money without sacrificing quality in any way.
FORMAT OPTIONS
The humble 35mm format is sufficient for some photographic applications,
but
for real quality John suggests medium or large format photography.
His digital equipment is also state-of-the-art and he can accomplish very
fast delivery electronically via e-mail or burn work to CD's. See samples
of his digital manipulations.
INTEGRITY
He believes that integrity emanates from the very heart of a person, and
[should] touch all things one is involved in. For John,
this is also based solidly in spiritual values which will be reflected in
attitude, care shown, and a general 'can do' disposition.
A LAST WORD
You will have noticed that John is certainly not a
one-subject photo specialist. He is a photographer in every sense of the
word, and his experience in many photographic fields gives him insights,
perspectives and solutions in all the photographic situations he finds
himself in. In other
words, in John you'll get a wealth of experience, true artistry,
and someone who is very easy to work with indeed.
