I was looking for someone to photograph a vintage motorcycle I had recently restored and John Black came highly recommended by several of my wife’s friends who have worked with him in the past. I wasn’t sure what I wanted other than it be “striking” and not just another bike-sitting-in-the-driveway shot. That wasn’t much for John to work with but he was patient enough and after several conversations, we decided on a studio shoot. When we got there, John was already set up and ready to get to work. My job was to position the bike in various poses and he did everything else. We spent a little over an hour trying different angles and perspectives. By the time I got home, the proofs were in my email inbox. I spent a day or so looking at them and getting other peoples’ opinions. It was hard – they were all so good. In the end, we chose six. I contacted John to let him know which ones we wanted and by the end of the day, he had them all finished and ready for me. Feedback on the results has been overwhelming. Even folks who know nothing about motorcycles - let alone vintage bikes, are amazed at the standout quality and how the bike is presented. All of the finals are so good, I offered to make prints for three of the people who helped me with the restoration and all four of us ended up selecting different ones. I wanted “striking” and I got it. This was my first time working with John, but it won’t be the last.

This is the second time I've hired John Black, and once again I found his work head and shoulders above the rest. He makes you feel utterly comfortable and relaxed in the warmth of his home studio while he does all the work before, during, and after the shoot. As someone who is camera shy, I can't recommend him highly enough.

John is an extremely experienced and gifted photographer, set designer, and photo editor. I was very pleased with the final headshots he produced for a book to be published. I look forward to engaging his services for family photo opportunities in the future. Very enjoyable experience.

We recently hired John Black for lifestyle photography at three of our short-term rental properties, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. John was professional, easy to work with, and super communicative throughout the entire process. He showed up on time, respected our space, and had a great eye for capturing light and creating those warm, inviting moments we were hoping for. The final images exceeded our expectations and truly brought out the personality of each property. Highly recommend him if you're looking to elevate your listing photos!

John Black is an expert in the field of photography and all that goes with it. He will lay out his concept, listen to your input, and the artistic collaboration of subject and photographer are exquisite. His skillset and determination for correct photography technique is key to producing fine images that will age like a fine wine, only to become better with time. John is quick with turn around of photos and clear communication, you most certainly will not have any regrets working with him. His professionalism and charisma for photography will show once you see the end results. Thank you for your work and talent, John!
