History

Established in 1999.

John Thomopoulos has a unique style: He does not believe in following trends. «It is a great honour to be commissioned to photograph a wedding: It is certainly a historic event and my role is to document it. I always try to capture emotion; the look on the parents’ faces during the ceremony is one of the most poignant images.

Business Owner

John has completed a Diploma of Illustrative photography at PSC in 2002. «The course was certainly not about learning how to take photographs as anyone can do that. What I got out of it was learning to think for myself and question why I take a photograph. You can express so much through photography.» He is also a purist who does not believe in manipulating images. John now is one of the very few photographers that still hand– prints black and white images in his own dark-​room. John often spends hours trying to perfect his prints and his clientele value the personalised service that they receive from Sujon Photography.
