John Dexter Photography
From Vision To Print
About me
and my passion of making art through photography
My name is John Dexter living in the south of England.
​
I had been a photographer for many years starting in film developing my own prints in a converted wardrobe as a dark room..
When I retired in 2012 I started using digital mainly shooting flowers until I found my passion some may say obsession with Abstract, Impressionism or Contemporary I am never certain to where my style of images can be categorised? not that it matters they are a body of work that is unique to my vision.
My images often provoke questions like what is it? and I always answer it is what ever you want it to be.
​
I am forever looking for fresh ideas in compositions and the proses of making images that satisfies my thirst for creating art that I can express my moods and feelings.
I get my inspiration from studying other photographers and artists past and present.
​
For every one image that I consider worthy of making it into my portfolio comes from hundreds, and many hours of trying to make that one into a piece of art that ignites a feeling of closure and achievement.
​
My images have developed over the years in style, as I am a great believer that trying new techniques and vision keeps your art and you fresh.
I do not think I will ever divert from the path of Abstract while it continues to excite me, there is so much more to explore and create and so little time.
​
My work has been published in Amateur Photographer magazine and have been honoured to receive awards from the National Photographic Society.
​
I have made YouTube videos on the making of my images that can be found in the menu under YouTube and links.
​
Prints of my work are available on request, printed to the highest standard on fine art paper, signed and a certificate of authenticity., prices can be found in the menu under prints.
