About John Grant

imageSome of you may remember me as a co-founder of the fine art publishing group "Thomasson- Grant". Now I've come full circle, back to my original interests and instinctive love of photography. Experimenting with new technological tools and techniques, my work most often focuses on botanical imagery.

I am represented by Getty Images worldwide, and by Kathleen Ewing Gallery in Washington, D. C. I work out of my home studio in Charlottesville.
