# About me

John Running Photographer

John Running has lived in Flagstaff, Arizona for the past 40 years. He has been making photographs for advertising, design and editorial clients for over 35 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 35 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.

Quote:

Words are perhaps the weakest medium for the truth of the nude; the graphic arts, painting and drawing are closer to the mark. And it may be the body in all its complexity is the great dominion of the photograph.

From the essay : “The nude in the Social Landscape”
by: Ben Maddow

After raiding your gallery tonight, I was going to tell you that I enjoy your work now as much as I did when I first stumbled upon it so many years ago (in particular, I always loved your series with Kaylee in the white tutu), but after reading a few recent comments, I guess it's more appropriate to wish you well in your current journeys. Rest in peace, man.
