About:
Shots Photography is John Washington, photographer and graphic designer.
I was born at a very early age, and at about 7 years discovering that I had some talent for art my parents locked me in a shed until I could draw all the characters from the Beano without using tracing paper.
I studied Foundation Art and Graphic Design between the ages of 16-20 years of age. Somehow or other I ended up in the great british police force for a short 17 years until my passion for all things visual got the better of me.
In 2001 I started a Graphic Design company called Washington Ryan Ltd, together with Leanda Ryan. www.leandaryan.com Whilst successful, the business no longer trades due me becoming more involved with photography (very expensive decision) and Leanda slowly becoming a real web geek.
I am currently doing three things. Firstly, to earn my keep, I shoot weddings, portraits and business stuff, and I am really into informal people photography where things aren’t too posed. Secondly, I am back at university on a journey to see if I can become a lecturer in graphic design. I really enjoy helping others and this would also help me with my own personal creative development. Thirdly, I still love graphics and undertake projects from corporate design through to brochures, you know, all the usual stuff.
My photoblog will eventually become a comprehensive portfolio of work. I have my own style, and my typical clients are people who want informal and graphic shots. I love close up shots of anything, especially people.
So if you feel my style of work suits you and you want good service, give me a call for a chat. If not I hope you enjoy visiting my website to see my work develop.
