About Me

“Because he doesn't display himself, people can see his light._ Because he has nothing to prove, people can trust his words._ Because he doesn't know who he is,_ people recognize themselves in him._ Because he has no goal in mind,_ everything he does succeeds.” John's work has appeared in numerous books and magazines, and is hailed as "the leading neo-symbolist photographer of this generation" by media, fans and fellow artists. He has also been called "the world's leading dark-art photographer " This un official title was given to him by non other than H.R.Giger. He has been greatly influenced by the Symbolists, but his imagery has been primarily inspired by his exposure to Catholicism and Santeria as a child and by his fascination with Greek mythology and world religions. John Santerineross' first book, Fruit of the Secret God, introduced his powerful images to the world in 1999. After forcing fans wait for five years, he has recently released the anxiously awaited sequel, Dream, in October 2004. This commanding new book is an exploration of John's dream imagery and iconography through the use of the photographic medium.
