Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Maurice John, Jr.

As a photographer, my intention is to capture a moment that gives me a feeling, whatever that may be. My art is a personal reflection and psychological evaluation of my emotions that may or may not be known to me. Chance, companioned with a general plan of action lead to my best work; it is my pleasure to capture sights that have not been seen. My technique for still photography mostly relies on drone photography. As a camera operator for 15 years before learning to pilot, the technical aspects of aerial photography are innate and I can focus on framing my shots. Confidence and wonder lead to amazing images.
