A birthday present from my wife, a digital camera, gave me
the opportunity to photograph casually, lots of people; not obtrusively, but just snapping them, with the idea of making them into images. It became important not just to celebrate localities and their landmarks, but the people who
inhabited them. My first people print was a picture of St Mark’s Square in Venice: “... almost everybody who wandered through the square that February morning was
photographed, re-coloured, blurred a bit, then lovingly placed in a collaged backdrop.
I thought it gave the place a new identity, filled with people who spot the ground like confetti or jewels...”
Johnny Bull is bald and lives in Wiltshire with his wife and two daughters.

Screen Deb says:
"This guy rocks…. even though he’s into jazz and plays the ukulele. His work just blows me away. Brilliant, aesthetic, witty and very talented – I love Johnny’s style. This is the place to look for a Unique Flickr experience. Click on the ALL SIZES button to see his pictures BIG so you can lap up all those meticulous and quirky little details. A master of colour and composition, Johnny has an amazing eye. How can a guy be so prolific and yet consistently produce such quality? The Thelonious Monk of art. You’re magic mate ... and you're also very funny!!"
