About
John Reiter began his love of photography some thirty five
years ago. As an international, award winning photographer,
he travels to various locations around the world. In addition, he
offers portrait, catalog and event photography as well as local,
one-on-one "personal training" in digital photography. John
attended the Lepp Institute of Digital Imaging and completed
training by Nikon, Epson, Adobe and others. He considers himself
fortunate to have photographed with, and been mentored by, some
of today's finest pro photographers including Darrell Gulin, Adam Jones,
Rick Sammon, Daniel Cox, Joe & MaryAnn McDonald and many others.
John's work has won numerous awards including two time winner of the Nature's Best Windland Smith Rice Award. Six of his images were recently named as semi-finalists in the 2011 Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition sponsored by the London Museum and BBC Wildlife Magazine. In addition, John's images have appeared in a number of national magazines and are currently on display in many private collections. John's work has also been featured in various galleries including a six month exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC.
NEW GALLERY
A new gallery, "The Masks of Venice", has recently been added to my portfolio...this magnificent Carnevale of Venice goes back in history to the 1100's when Venice celebrated victory in battle. The costumes or "masks", as they are called, were a way to foster equality since one's gender and rank in society were hidden. Outlawed for a number of years,Carnevale was reinstated in 1979 and continues to this day. The setting is breathtaking, as are the
masks that are created and worn by a network of passionate people that keep the spirit of Carnevale alive.
This gallery is dedicated to the masks that make Carnevale possible...
Note: Some of these photographs were taken in a private photo shoot arranged at a 15th century palace.
RECENT INTERVIEW
I am very honored to have been chosen as the current featured photographer in "Deep Green Photography" rainforest images. Here is a link to the interview ...
http://www.deepgreenphotography.com/2012/05/featured-photographer-interviews-john-reiter/
This website and blog provide outstanding rainforest images, photo tips and gear info from Costa Rico - based professional nature photographer, Greg Basco. Greg is a good friend and also happens to be an incredible nature photographer with extremely high standards of excellence. Among other accomplishments, he was a recent winner in the BBC/Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition.
I would definitely recommend Greg's photo tours (Foto Verde Tours).
