Two Workers on a Break, Centro Habana
About Artist
John Sarsgard
I have degrees in mathematics and computer science. The first half of my working life was spent in the information technology industry. In 2003 I decided to spend the other half exercising the rest of. my brain and have since focused on photography. I photograph my connections. Many subjects have caught my attention over the years, and I’ve debated whether I was a portrait, or landscape, or architectural photographer…but never a wedding, fashion or product photographer. Finally it dawned on me that I am drawn to photograph the people, places and situations to which I feel a connection. I am interested both in the chance encounters of what is usually called street photography and portraits made in collaboration with others. I often describe myself as an amateur anthropologist with a camera. I seek out the everyday rather than the spectacular and unusual. My work is about the ordinary and peculiar...sometimes both are present in one image.
