John Santerineross is an artist who does not classify or categorize himself. He prefers to let the viewer decide and define.
He has been called everything from” the world leading Black-symbolist artist” by PROFIFOTO, Germanys leading photography magazine to an “artistic assassin who wants to artistically assassinate Christianity, especially Catholicism” in Bill Donohue’s newest book “Secular Sabotage: How Liberals Are Destroying Religion and Culture in America”
Therefore John never elucidates his imagery for fear of limiting viewers’ personal interpretation. He is influenced by the early symbolists’ belief that “the creation of a mood is as important as the transmission of information, (it must also) seek to engage the entire mind and personality of the viewer by appealing to the viewer’s emotions and unconscious mind, as well as to their intellect”.
Come and decide for yourself.

It is his commitment, integrity, passion and dedication that cause many admirers to consider him to be one of the most influential image-makers of this generation.

"Many people are under the assumption that I do a lot of digital manipulation of my images. The fact is that about 98% percent of what you see in the photograph was on set that day. All blurs or distortions are created by either the model moving at my command or objects that are moving in the set by means of a variety of motors, wires and mobiles. "

“Because he doesn't display himself,
people can see his light._
Because he has nothing to prove,
people can trust his words._
Because he doesn't know who he is,_
people recognize themselves in him._
Because he has no goal in mind,_
everything he does succeeds._
