PORTRAITURE JOHN BORYS PHOTOGRAPHY
Understanding drawing, and painting are the foundation for my portrait photography. It’s all about directing and how your light the person. Working as a creative director/photographer in the advertising industry for over three decades has taught me how to create timeless images that connect emotionally. I love people, working with them and creating an image that is truly stunning.
I HAVE BEEN AN ARTIST ALL OF MY LIFE.
I started when I was three. My mom has shown me some of the pictures that I was creating back then. I believe her. My artistic journey has gone from drawing at an early age through a BFA degree in art, 2,000 photoshoots commercially for national brands, and a lifetime of learning under the best in the business. Painting, drawing, and photography at least for me is not something I decided to do after a successful career in something else or something I do for fun, a hobby, or a means of self-discovery. I create images because this is what I was born to do.
It is that simple and that complex.
