​

'It seems like John is constantly gripped by moments of beauty and poetry, creating contemplative work that perhaps seems closer to the practice of painting than the networked form of photography that has become ubiquitous today. In a sublime, almost pastoral moment, his photographic eye was awakened'. “I was originally captivated by photography on a beautiful evening with the golden hour-light streaming through rolling fields whilst deer were grazing on the field,” John tells It’s Nice That. “I asked one of my friends if I could use their camera. I was so captivated by the beautiful light.” - It's Nice That, Alif Ibrahim.
