John Byford combines unimpeachable technical prowess with an artistic virtuosity that confounds even a non-artist's determination not to be impressed.
Always competent, often offbeat and compelling, and more occasionally inspiring, John has the ability to both capture major situations, or just fleeting moments, in a way that is both original and yet does full justice to the situation.
John's photographs have a beauty that entrances and yet a stark grasp of tragedy that appalls and yet he is just as at home with children playing as he is with bridesmaids caught off guard during weddings.
