Always a keen naturalist John eventually decided, in 1986, to record the beauty of nature on film. This included macro photography of insects and fungi, native bird photography and the Australian lanscape.

 In 1987 John commenced entering his photography in National and International Salons with PSA and FIAP approval, accumulating over 600 International awards. In 1996 and again in 1997 John was ranked as the most successful International exhibitor in the Nature Print Section.

In recognition of International photographic achievement John was awarded a 'Fellowship' (FAPS) by the Australian Photographic Society in 1992.
In 1996 John received the award of 'Excellence' (EFIAP) by the International Federation of Photographic Art.

John uses professional Canon EF lenses ranging from 17mm to 400mm. His switch to digital photography took place in 2003 and currently uses Canon EOS 5D and EOS 7D bodies.
