John Sanderson
Ore Dock, Marquette, Michigan
Photograph, 2016, 16” x 20”

John Sanderson is drawn to broad topographical subjects within the United States of America.  It is there in the outdoors he feels most creative.  His photographs reconcile American motives of impermanence, and expansion within the contemporary landscape.  His projects include themes such as transportation, leisure, residence, industry, and decay.  The influence of growing up in New York City’s Midtown Manhattan underpins much of Sanderson's work which is rooted in a passion for architectural design.  He captures photographs for each project with multiple large format film cameras as well as smaller digital cameras as needed for commercial clients.  Sanderson’s photographs have been featured in a variety of publications such as: PDN Magazine, Slate Magazine, BBC News, The Wall Street Journal, Lenscratch, and NBC News.  Fallen Flags, and Railroad Landscapes have both been the subject of several solo and group exhibitions.  In 2017, he published National Character, a Monthly Monograph Magazine, by Subjectively, Objective.  His work resides in a number of private and public collections including the MTA Metro North Railroad, New York Transit Museum, Center for Railroad Photography & Art, and the special collection libraries of the International Center of Photography, Amon Carter Museum, and UC Berkeley.  Zatara Press published his Carbon County project in 2019.  In 2022, he was part Yes, And, an exhibition with work by artists connected to Staten Island at the Staten Island Museum.
