John Running
www.johnrunning.com
John Running is synonymous with the Colorado Plateau and the greater southwest. For the past 35 years he has roamed the canyons and photographed its people from his base in Flagstaff, AZ. To keep personally inspired over the long distance of time, John relies on intimate conversations with his muse. John's keynote "Conversations with my Muse" (working title) will invite all of us into that internal landscape.
Running makes his life and livelihood as a freelance commercial and documentary photographer among the varied cultures in the vast physical beauty of the southwestern United States. He is best known for his work photographing the Navajo people, the largest Native American nation. Originally, photography served Running merely as a documentary tool - an asset to his anthropological studies. "To see, to record, to comment, and to present..." Increasingly, it became and today remains his main love and livelihood.
Running?s credits range from ?People Magazine? to ?Communications Arts Magazine.? His commercial clients include Sterling Commerce, World Photo Press of Japan, Nikon, Lee Jeans and Island Outpost. Photo assignments have taken him to Italy, France, Peru, Palestine, Lebanon, the West Indies and the Bahamas. He has also published seven books, including Honor Dance, Pictures for Solomon, Dancer, Halo of the Sun and The Joy of Partner Yoga.
Of his photography Running says, "Although my photographs may be a personal statement of sorts, they tend to be more of a statement about mankind." Running's art combines the talent of a social anthropologist's perception of cultural flux and change with an artist's sensitivity to psychological power, composition and aesthetic form.
