Biography

John Anderson was born on 7th Feb 1973 in Nottingham. John is a self-taught photographer based in Sheffield, whose only formal training in photography was an A-level in the dark room at Sheffield College. However, he has a strong natural talent for photography and for capturing the intimacy of the moment on his subject matter and creating a psychological tension through the use of light and composition. His images are very atmospheric and possess a strong stylistic sense and artistic quality.

John graduated on Youth and Community Work at Birmingham University and later trained on Counselling at Sheffield Hallam. He has also developed his professional career onto psychotherapy and other therapeutic practices. As well as working as a therapist, John has been practicing as a professional photographer since 2007.

John loves documentary photography and endeavours to do personal projects from time to time. The photos of Zippo’s circus were taken as part of a personal project. John aimed at capturing some of the characters and magic of the circus, from a lesser seen perspective backstage.
