John began his career straight out of high school photographing summer camps in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. After graduating from Columbia College in Chicago, he moved to NYC to work as a photo assistant and, as luck would have it, his next-door neighbor was the photo editor of Marie Claire Magazine. As the editor ramped up her career moving from magazine to magazine, so did John. His specialty was photographing womens' health issues and lifestyles. A calm, caring demeanor placed his subjects at ease and made them relaxed so that he could bring out the best In them, the picture, the story. His work has been published worldwide in Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Ladies Home Journal, Rosie, Parade and Donna Karan. His assignments covered deeply personal, socially significant, and sometimes controversial topics. The work played a role in shedding light on critical issues, from health crises to justice and survival stories.
