With a clean and stylish look John's pictures undoubtedly find their roots in his Scandinavian upbringing. He masters the art of high-key photography leaving nothing in the picture but what's important. John says: "I prefer to shoot in the studio where I can control the environment.”

John finds beauty in both still life, animals and people. And lots of it. John says "I tend not to pose people unless it's for a particular purpose such as a corporate portrait. I love movement and strong expressions in a photo, and I attribute much of my success in photography to the fact that I let the children be themselves. I don't like the feeling of confinement myself, and years of experience have shown me that my best shots are the free-ranging style". John continues "I love children's faces because they are constantly changing and because they are true to what the child is feeling".

While John spend most of his time on portraits, his work have brought him several corporate clients. Among those Adobe Systems, Venture Corporation, Coldwell-Banker, Ericsson Inc., and Tracy Matthews Designs.

John have been trained by some of the best photographers in the industry such as Greg Gorman and Marc Hauser. He has had work published in magazines and newspapers and is a Certified Adobe Photoshop Expert.

John lives with his family south of San Francisco.

John is a Certified Professional Photographer (C.P.P.) with Professional Photographers of America.
