John Bowden, JB, Bowdy

Mmm, where to start? This talking about yourself stuff is not easy. I'll keep it brief and let my photos do the talking.

Arriving a couple of weeks before my due date, I was born in a taxi on the way to hospital on Christmas Eve.  This probably explains why I am always early, I hate being late.

As you can see from my Sunday school best, fashion sense is a strong point. 

I am not going to say I have always wanted to be a photographer, but for as long as I can remember I was taking photos. First with my mum's camera, then my very own Agfamatic Pocket - a fancy camera back in its day, or so I thought! 

It's been over 40 years since I graduated from working in the darkroom with my first employer in 1979.

Brisbane based, I work as an advertising and commercial photographer. I am very lucky to be able to say that I love what I do, how could you not love what you do when you get to do something different almost every day.

Oh yeah, I also like 'capturing the moment'... and all that other stuff everyone says on their websites.
