John Scanlan

Master photographer John Scanlan has spent the last two decades pursuing an artistic vision of the world that speaks of tranquility as well as beauty. A self-taught photographer with extensive experience, John regularly travels to foreign destinations fervently pursuing the images for which he has gained widespread acclaim. In a world that seems to change overnight, there is something quieting about an image that makes the world stand still. A centuries-old castle, ancient mountains, a cobblestone alley...all seem to proclaim their fixed hold on the past, present and future. These images reveal a delicate balance of artistic elements, and offer passage through a "window" to another world; a passage that transports you back to another place and time. Each image is a quiet tribute, a recognition of the tension between inevitable change and the desire for permanence and meaning.
