John is an award winning photographer of long standing, schooled in the use of film but has now firmly 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. 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 (www.dapagroup.com), a small but growing group of photographers, who share a passion for image making. In March 2013 John was awarded his Associateship of the British Photographic Exhibition (ABPE), having gained more than four hundred acceptances in UK National Exhibitions. John also enjoys repeated success in many of the International Exhibitions that are staged around the world and was award his EFIAP distinction in March 2011.
