Featured photographer John Moran is online at www.johnmoranphoto.com

"If Florida had a Photographer Laureate,
John Moran should hold that title."

--Gary Mormino, co-director of the Florida Studies Program, University of South Florida

About John

Traveling the Sunshine State with his cameras, John Moran seeks his vision of natural Florida as it must have appeared to Ponce de Leon and other early strangers in paradise. Moran's work celebrates the magic of a unique landscape born of water and blessed with beauty beyond measure.

His portfolio of landscape and wildlife photography ranges from the Gulf to the Atlantic with an emphasis on Florida waters and the creatures that inhabit them.

Moran's photography has appeared in numerous books and magazines including National Geographic, Life, Time, Newsweek, Smithsonian, The New York Times Magazine and on the cover of the National Audubon Society Field Guide to Florida.

Moran's "Journal of Light: The Visual Diary of a Florida Nature Photographer," a 20-year collection of photos and essays, was published in 2004. "Journal of Light" debuted in 2005 as a major traveling exhibit of the Florida Museum of Natural History.

He was the State of Florida official nature photographer in 2006, creating a calendar on state lands for the Governor's office and the Department of Environmental  Protection.

Moran's ever-evolving Journal of Light statewide speaking programs, detailing a photographer's search for the soul of Florida, have been called "soulful," "exquisite," "lyrical," and "breathtaking."
