John Running has lived in Flagstaff, Arizona for the past 45 years. He has been
making photographs for advertising, design and editorial clients for over 40 years. He
specializes in photographing people on location or in the studio. His photographs stand
out because they have a style that is personally creative and graphically strong. Give
him 1/125th of a second and he will give you so much more.
Running has been photographing the female nude for all of his 40 years as a
professional photographer. The women he photographs are both sensual and strong.
His photographs are collaboration with his models where there is room for each to
express their creativity. His work reminds us that eroticism is yet another culturally
laden value that depends on choices made by its consumers to be effective.
His Album of Erotica and Genetic Imprints are studies of erotic play, a book in progress. A
place where form, light, shadow, fantasy and suggestion lead the viewer to a place where
imagination becomes engaged.
Album of Erotica is a collaboration between photographer and model, a series of personal
work done in the studio or on location with fun and sexy props and experimental sets. An
exploration of the changing faces of the model. Modify the props, set and light -
transform the persona.
Work or play? Photographer and model are both exhausted and rejuvenated by the
process of creating the images. Each session evolves into its own dynamic ... the magic
of creative interaction. The hours fly as we make more photos! More coffee! More wine!
More Photos !!
Delight in female form, In this magic studio there is no struggle to control, it has been
replaced with trust.
... so that is how these photos are born, Work and play.
Now it is your turn.
Enjoy! |
