John Frederick Anderson (b. Philadelphia, U.S.A. 1964).

After majoring in Pre- Socratic Greek philosophy and 16th Century Chinese History, I worked on a cattle station in north western Australia in the 1980’s. I then produced audio visual designs for international corporate clients and museums based in Sydney where I was a contributing photographer and curator of images for the Australian Pavilion, World Expo ’92 in Seville.

I freelanced in London as a photographer in the 1990’s shooting editorial, advertising, theatre, opera, annual reports and worked pro-bono in India for a year for various NGOs. After 2000, I studied more in Wales and Belfast and started teaching and my exhibiting work. 

I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Photojournalism, a M.A and a M.F.A. in Photography. 

I lectured in Photography, Photojournalism, Fashion Semiotics and the Semiotics of Visual Culture for fifteen years in Barcelona. Now I live in beautiful Asturias, northern Spain.
